Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of the process involves multiple factors, including labor, electricity, and materials, that all contribute to the productivity of the company. Therefore, the best choice is a multifactor analysis. Segregated analysis would involve isolating one factor and analyzing its impact on productivity, which is not appropriate in this scenario. Functional analysis would involve breaking down each step in the process, which is not necessary for the CEO's comparison with competitors. Integrated analysis would involve analyzing how different parts of the company work together, which is also not necessary for this comparison.
