Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A strategic control system is designed to monitor and evaluate an organization's progress toward its strategic goals. Therefore, the most relevant choice is B, as it directly refers to the accomplishment of such goals. While the profitability of an organization is important, it is not the main focus of a strategic control system. The needs of employees and product line extensions are also not directly related to assessing the relevance of an organization's strategy. Competitors' strategies may be taken into account, but they are not the primary concern of a strategic control system.
