Principles of MGMT

[shaw74]

a politician whose unltimate goal is to get elected is planning campaign ads for TV. In planning the ads, the politician is functioning at a ____________ level.

 

(A) strategic

(B) long-term

© tactical

(D) directional

i think the answer id tactical. but after looking again i think it could be strategic.

I suspect you're correct.

 

Functioning at a Strategic level is the part about wanting to get elected. It's about a long-term goal. For this reason (depending on time-frame), the option of Long-term could also apply to the idea of getting elected.

Directional seems obviously wrong / a red herring / distractor choice.

Tactical, however, is about what specific steps they're taking to realize a goal, what focused actions they're taking to get there, etc.

It's also the one that remains via process of elimination.

 

I cannot be sure, but agree with your choice.
