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

Top-level management, such as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), is responsible for setting organizational goals, creating strategies, and overseeing the overall functioning of the business. Operational management handles the day-to-day activities and works under the guidance of middle management. Therefore, statement (C) is incorrect because the CEO does not directly manage first-line managers.
