Actual exam question for IMANET's CMA exam
Question #: 57
Topic #: 3
[All CMA Questions]

A strategic group analysis does all but which of the following?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Decentralization results in greater speed in making operating decisions because they are made by lower-level managers instead of being referred to top management. The quality of operating decisions should also be enhanced, assuming proper training of managers, because those closest to the problems should be the most knowledgeable about them.

Wait, isn't strategic group analysis like the corporate version of 'spot the differences' between competitors? If so, I'd say C is the odd one out.

A: I think it's C too. It's more about comparing with competitors, not forecasting future actions.

I'm tempted to say C, but then again, that's kind of the whole reason you do the analysis in the first place. Tough one!

Gotta be B, right? Forecasting future group actions and trends is like the whole point of strategic group analysis.

I'm gonna go with A. Mobility barriers are a key part of strategic group analysis, not something it excludes.

Hmm, I think D is the correct answer. Strategic group analysis doesn't predict reaction patterns, that's more of a game theory thing.
