Question No. 1

Pressure groups which seek to promote a particular issue, such as human rights, the environment; or raise awareness (eg modern slavery); or lobby for legislative change on a particular issue (eg species protection) are called:

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: D

Causal, not casual. They exert pressure about particular causes.

'Sectional' is an invention by me; blood pressure group is a rather weak attempt at humour.


Question No. 2

In which one of the following sectors would you least expect to find seasonal unemployment:

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Agriculture and tourism are normally associated with high levels of seasonal employment, and hence to some extent, unemployment.

Construction also often has an element of seasonality. For example, there is a saying in Alaska: 'there are two seasons - winter and construction', although in some less extreme climates construc-tion carries on year-round.

In most situations, we normally expect police employment levels to be relatively consistent through-out the year.


Question No. 3

The Equality Act in the UK was introduced in which year?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

The Act was introduced in 2010. Although this is a UK-centric QUESTION NO :, it is valid for several rea-sons. Firstly, the UK was one of the first countries to introduce such a wide-ranging Act; secondly the Act is so wide-ranging that all UK managers need to be familiar with it. People who live and work outside the UK may wish to familiarise themselves with the content of the Act to have an idea of what the impact of such legislation might be like.

Interestingly, in the UK, the Act has seldom been used 'in anger'.


Question No. 4

'The social responsibility of business is profit maximisation' - focusing on returns to shareholders.

This is a famous business philosophy - in contrast to a philosophy of Corporate Social Responsibility as expounded by CIPS.

Which economic and management thinker famously promoted this view?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

It was Milton Friedman who promoted this view in the second half of the 20th century. This view is now less popular than it was. 'The business of business is business' is another famous quote from Professor Friedman, meaning profit maximisation is what business should be concerned with, not broader social or welfare issues. This thinking takes the view that governments can legislate as nec-essary to cater for society's needs, funding such activities from taxation placed on successful profit-able businesses.

Milton Keynes is a place in UK; J M Keynes was a famous economist who took a different view to Friedman's and John Milton is a famous 17th century English poet.


Question No. 5

Protecting domestic industry from the effects of global competition is known as:

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: C

Increasingly practised, albeit often quietly, protectionism seeks to protect domestic industries, re-ducing access to markets for foreign companies. The aim is normally to protect domestic worker's jobs, often with an eye on domestic politics. Industries recently (late 2020) mentioned in this subject area include agriculture, airlines, defence, shipbuilding, steel, etc - not just in UK or Europe, but worldwide.

The World Trade Organisation seeks to reduce protectionism - an activity supported by many econ-omists, as globalism is believed by many to increase global wealth overall.

However, this is not clear cut, and there are a variety of views.

Interventionism is not relevant to this QUESTION NO :, and preventionism is a made-up word.
