Question 1

When should research and evaluation procedures for an event start?&#10;A) During the bid phase&#10;B) During the event&#10;C) After the event

Accepted Answer

Research and evaluation procedures for an event should start during the bid phase, which is the phase where a destination or venue is selected for the event. It is important to establish baseline data before the event takes place, and to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be used to measure the success of the event. This allows for a more comprehensive evaluation after the event, which can inform future event planning and decision-making. Starting research and evaluation procedures during the event or after the event may not provide the same level of detail or accuracy.

Question 2

Which of the following descriptions is associated with the Cost-Benefit Analysis model for analyzing the economic impact of an event?&#10;A) Uses multipliers&#10;B) Considers both tangible and intangible aspects&#10;C) Is about economic efficiency and market value

Accepted Answer

Considers both tangible and intangible aspects

Question 3

How should the workforce be prepared for the closure of the event?&#10;A) Avoid the discussion pre-event as they need to focus on Games-time&#10;B) Offer one-on-one exit meetings with HR, seminars on how to prepare for closure, and contact information for other employers in their geography before the time comes&#10;C) Have the workforce read media reports on the Games?

Accepted Answer

It is important to prepare the workforce for the closure of the event so that they can transition smoothly into new employment opportunities. Offering one-on-one exit meetings with HR, seminars on how to prepare for closure, and contact information for other employers in their geography before the time comes can help them prepare for the inevitable closure. Avoiding the discussion pre-event or having the workforce read media reports on the Games may not provide adequate preparation.

Question 4

Games-time involves:&#10;A) Managing crises and making fast decisions&#10;B) Taking the time to consult stakeholders when creating your plans&#10;C) Starting the venuization process

Accepted Answer

Games-time typically involves unexpected crises and situations that require quick decision-making skills. Therefore, managing crises and making fast decisions is the best choice. Option B is important during the planning stage, but not necessarily during the games itself. Option C is also not related to games-time, as venue preparation typically happens in advance.

Question 5

Which of the following is false regarding decision- making during Games-time?&#10;A) Manager decision-making is proactive in nature&#10;B) Managers base their decisions on the information at hand&#10;C) Managers base their decisions on the people around them, the resources they have, and the plans previously created

Accepted Answer

Manager decision-making during Games-time is reactive in nature, not proactive, as they have to respond quickly to unexpected situations and changes in circumstances.

Question 6

Managing emotions during Games-time requires personal strategies. Which of the following will be effective?&#10;A) Limiting your liquid intake and exercise&#10;B) Following whatever comes into your mind&#10;C) Managing your ego, surrendering to what is, and staying in the moment

Accepted Answer

Managing your ego, surrendering to what is, and staying in the moment is the best choice because it allows for emotional regulation and a sense of control during Games-time. Limiting liquid intake and exercise could have negative consequences on physical and emotional well-being, while following whatever comes into your mind can lead to impulsiveness and erratic behavior.
