Which of the following do managers NOT typically use to formulate strategies?
A) finding ways to exploit the organization's strengths
B) finding ways to protect the organization from external threats
C) finding ways to rule out existing organizational opportunities
D) finding ways to correct organizational weaknesses
Answer: C
Explanation: The incorrect choices all identify strategies that might emerge from a SWOT analysis–to exploit organizational strengths, correct weaknesses, and protect against threats, so they can all be ruled out as correct responses. The one thing that organizations would not typically do is rule out possible opportunities–instead the organization would be looking to exploit those opportunities, making "finding ways to rule out existing organizational opportunities" the correct response.
