BCS BAPv5 Exam - Topic 1 Question 46 Discussion

Actual exam question for BCS's BAPv5 exam
Question #: 46
Topic #: 1
[All BAPv5 Questions]

At a recent Board Meeting the Directors of an office fitting company ratified the company's mission as:

To meet or undercut all our competitors' prices'

Which of the following is MOST LIKELY to be the company's vision?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A vision statement is a concise and inspiring statement of what the organisation aspires to be in the future. It should reflect the organisation's core values and purpose, and provide direction and motivation for its stakeholders. A vision statement should not be too specific or focused on the current state of the organisation, but rather on the desired future state. Therefore, option A is the best choice, as it expresses a clear and aspirational vision that aligns with the company's mission of meeting or undercutting all its competitors' prices. Option B is too narrow and does not capture the essence of the organisation's purpose. Option C is too vague and does not indicate how the organisation will achieve its goal. Option D is too generic and does not differentiate the organisation from its competitors.

Wait, are they really just aiming to undercut everyone? That seems risky.

I was leaning towards D as well. It seems like the most ambitious option, which fits a vision statement better than just focusing on costs.

I'm a bit confused. I feel like C makes sense since increasing market share is a long-term goal, but it doesn't really tie back to the mission.

I remember practicing a question about mission and vision statements, and I think a vision should inspire. So, A could be a good choice too.

I think the vision should reflect a broader goal than just pricing, so maybe D? But I'm not entirely sure.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The mission is all about pricing, so the vision is most likely going to be something that reflects that, like offering the best value or reducing costs. I'm going with option A.

This is a tricky one. The mission is clear, but the vision could go in different directions. I'm leaning towards option C, increasing market share, since that would align with the pricing focus. But I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, I think I've got it. The mission is all about pricing, so the vision is most likely going to be something that supports that, like reducing costs or offering the best value. I'm going with option A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The mission is focused on pricing, but the vision could be about different things like market share or being the premier company. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question. The company's mission is to meet or undercut competitors' prices, so their vision is likely to be about offering the best value or reducing costs.

Option D all the way! 'To be the premier office fitting company' sounds like a bold and ambitious vision that the company should strive for.

I think option B is the correct answer. Reducing the cost of office fitting by 5% is a clear, measurable goal that fits the company's mission.

The company's mission focuses on undercutting competitors' prices, so their vision is most likely to be 'To offer the best value office fitting service' - that aligns with their cost-focused mission.
