Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C) If a company has a weak corporate culture, values are not shared widely. So the choice that provides evidence of a weak corporate culture will be the one that suggests the greatest inconsistency. Only Choice C involves a contradiction. Sales employees are encouraged to take risks, but the Accounts employees are encouraged to avoid anything that might make a client leave. If the corporate culture were strong, then the same values would be shared, but Choice C suggests that they are not. The other choices involve different aspects of corporate culture that could coexist without contradiction. Choice D might seem like a contradiction, but sticking to the law doesn't mean that you're not innovative.
