Question

With respect to levels of management, choose the incorrect statement from the following:

• A. Operational level management is responsible for maintaining safety standards in the organisation.
• B. At middle level management, managers ensure that their department has the necessary personnel.
• C. Chief Executive Officer at Top Level management is responsible for all activities of first line managers.
• D. Top level management is responsible for all the activities of the business and for its impact on society.

Hint:

Levels of management have distinct roles: Top-level sets strategies, middle-level coordinates departments, and operational level executes tasks.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Executive leadership, exemplified by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), establishes organizational objectives, formulates strategies, and supervises the business's comprehensive operations. Operational management is tasked with daily operations and functions under the direction of middle management. Consequently, statement (C) is erroneous as the CEO does not directly supervise first-line managers.
