Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Raj and his manager are participating in management by objectives (MBO), a goal-setting process that entails collaboration between the employee and the manager to establish specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) objectives. This process allows for periodic assessment of progress towards achieving those objectives. Therefore, option C is the best choice. Strategic planning initiatives (option A) involve developing a long-term plan for achieving an organization's objectives, while corporate-level strategizing (option B) entails developing strategies for a company's business units. Human resource arbitration (option D) involves resolving disputes between employees and the management. Job instruction training (option E) involves training employees on how to perform specific tasks effectively. None of these options describe what Raj and his manager are doing together.
