Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ongoing training is necessary for employees to keep up with changes and advancements in the industry, as well as to develop new skills and capabilities that can contribute to the value chain management process. Choice A, commitment to management by objectives (MBO), is a management technique that helps employees achieve their goals by aligning them with the overall objectives of the organization, but it is not directly related to value chain management. Choice C, goal compatible compensation plans, is important for motivating employees, but it is not directly related to value chain management. Choice D, an effective firing process, is not a positive human resource requirement and should not be considered as an option.
