Wait, can it really be efficient if they’re not effective?

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced about resource allocation. Maybe it's C, Economic, but I'm not confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about effectiveness being more about achieving goals rather than just cost.

I'm pretty confident the answer is C. Acquiring resources cheaply is all about being economic, which is one of the 3 Es used to measure performance.

Okay, let me see. Efficient is about using resources well, effective is about achieving goals, and economic is about being cost-conscious. I'll go with C - Economic for this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The 3 Es are a bit tricky to remember. I'll have to think this through carefully before answering.

Ah, the three Es, eh? I'm curious, do they also have a fourth E for 'Exasperating'? Because that's how I'm feeling right about now trying to figure this one out!

I'm torn between B) Effective and C) Economic. I mean, being effective is important, but if you're not being economical, what's the point? Guess I'll go with C) Economic, since that's the one that really captures the essence of what the question is asking.

Yeah, Economic seems like the best choice.
DE

I'm leaning towards Economic as well.

Nah, I'm going with A) Efficient. I mean, if they're getting resources as cheaply as possible, that's got to be the hallmark of an efficient organization, right? Though I do like the sound of 'enterprising', it just doesn't seem to fit here.

Easy peasy, the answer is C) Economic. I mean, who wouldn't want to get the best bang for their buck, right? That's the whole point of being a not-for-profit, isn't it?

But what about being effective? Wouldn't that also be important for a not-for-profit organization?

Hmm, this one's a tricky one. I think the answer is C) Economic, because the organization is focused on acquiring resources as cheaply as possible, which aligns with the concept of being economical.

I'm not sure, but I think D) Enterprising could also be a possibility if the organization is being innovative in acquiring resources.

I agree with C) Economic, it makes sense that the organization is being cost-effective in acquiring resources.
MA
