'An organisation is a social arrangement which pursues collective____, which controls its own performance and which has a boundary separating it from its environment.'
Which of the following words best completes this sentence?
Profits
Stakeholders
Goals
Tactics
Rationale： Collective goals or aims are a feature of organisations.Pitfalls： Watch out for closely related terminology like 'goals' and 'tactics'. You might have thought 'tactics' would fit here, but they are the lower level plans of functions: they may not be shared by the organisation as a whole.Ways in: If you didn't know the definition, you could have got to the answer by ruling out the other options. Stakeholders doesn't fit 'pursues'; profits are not the objective of all organisations; and tactics are at a lower level than goals.
