question 13

Multiple Choice

• A) Upper-level managers often take new positions in other organizations.
• B) Candidates for upper-level management positions are required to have at least three years of experience with the organization.
• C) The company successfully recruited entry-level employees through traditional channels.
• D) Upper-level managers are required to demonstrate capabilities in each of the four traditional management functions: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling.
• E) The organization took steps to promote diversity only after settling a series of lawsuits.
