CAT 1998 — VARC Question 34
Direction: Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow.
The company encourages its managers to interact regularly, without a pre-set agenda, to discuss issues concerning the company and society. This idea has been borrowed from the ancient Indian concept of religious congregation, called satsang. Designations are forgotten during these meetings; hence, it is not uncommon in these meetings to find a sales engineer questioning the CEO on some corporate policy or his knowledge of customers.
Based on the information provided in the above passage, it can be inferred that
Answer & solution
- A
the company is concerned about its reputation with its employees.
the company believes in fostering the spirit of dialogue without degenerating it into a positioning based debate.
- C
the company had some inter-personnel problems in the past due to which it felt the need for these corporate satsangs.
- D
All of these
The passage states that designations are forgotten during the meetings and even a sales engineer can question the CEO on company policies. The company’s ulterior motive is not the focus of the argument, so (a) and (c) are ruled out.
