Consider the following short case as you respond to the next question: When the CEO of NTL Corporation resigned, the board of directors hired a recruitment firm to look for a replacement. The recruitment firm prepared several job announcements, then presented them to the board of directors. The board of directors approved one of the job announcements; the recruitment firm used it to advertise the position on the Internet and in relevant newspapers and professional publications. After receiving several applications, the recruitment firm selected a pool of ten to pass on to NTL's board of directors. The board of directors, with the assistance of the recruitment firm, went through three rounds of interviews, narrowing the pool from ten to three. Each of the three finalists prepared a presentation on the strategic future of NTL and delivered the presentation at a meeting of NTL shareholders. The board of directors then made the final choice for a new CEO.A systems flowchart of the case is likely to be divided into how many columns?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The systems flowchart is likely to be divided into two or three columns, one of which may be "applicants" as they are an important part of the recruitment process. Other columns could include "recruitment firm", "board of directors", and "finalists". The fact that the finalists presented to NTL shareholders is not necessarily relevant to the systems flowchart. The number of applicants does not affect how many columns are in the flowchart.
