though OA is mentioned as 4 but i think awnser should be 2 because suppose shantanu let things continue and asks his team member to keep him in loop then every other team member would take it granted they can atleast report once to the project manager whenever they feel its is right for them to do.but in option 2 by reprimanding the team member it will be a lesson not only for him but for other team members also that they ought to follow the hierarchy,yes option 4 would have been possible if in paragraph it would have been mentioned about flexibility in hierarchy.
puys anybody want to put their opinions or discuss you are most welcome.
First of all Thank you Cognizant_81 for posting such kind of interesting questions.....was really feeling of such posts...!!
Neways, continuing the discussion of de point in question
I feel that in any organisation there sure is a hierarchy but the hierarchy does not stop you to be out of touch of your managers....you can contact them if you feel it is an important matter......so i feel keeping the lead in loop wud suffice....i found this option more acceptable.....
Fixing a meeting with the manager and team member wud further jeopardize the position of the lead as it wud clearly convey the lead's apprehensions....!
:grin:
kvijaybabu SaysVery close options 3 and 4. will go with 4 because its mentioned manager is unconcerned hence no point in arranging a meeting to dicuss the same.
Option 4 should be the Solution , Firstly Shantanu needs to prepare a team performance report
So he should always be in the loop for all the activities , his team members are taking care of .
As mentioned the Project Manager is not too concerned about the reporting hierarchy So First Shantanu
should try to correct that by himself by asking the team member to keep him in the loop .
Team meeting should only come to picture if first level of resolution does not work .
cognizant_81 Saysmr.sanjeev khosla is a project manager in charge of handling a team of marketing interns who are working for summy assignements for his firms his responsibility......
I would go with option 3
hey! where did the question go? 😛
oops by mistake deleted thinking it as double post
let others also awnser will post OA just after sometimes
mr.sanjeev khosla is a project manager in charge of handling a team of marketing interns who are working for summy assignements for his firms his responsibility is to assign senior situational taks to the team and report their performance to the senior management.based on his feedback one or more interns will be offered full time job in the company.in the first two asignments,the interns put in lot of effort and showed tremendous promise.however for the remaining four assignments the team perforance was slackened and none of the deadlines could be met.
which of the following is the most appropriate feedback that mr.khosla should give to senior management?
(1)he should base his feedback on the performances of first two assisgnments because of lack of motivation while solving dummy assignments is understandable.
(2)he should base his feedback on basis of first two assignements as first two assignements done by interns show their real potential.
(3)he should base his feedback on all assignments taken together and let the senior management analyse the drop in efficiency and take their decision.
(4)he should give negative feedback for all interns because none of them performed upto the company standards in 4 out ofr 6 assignments.
(5)he should give neutral feedback for all the interns as none of them performed well up to the company standards for the 4 assignments.
i guess it should be option 5...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay i know this sounds outright silly but last night while going through my xlri form i realised that i had marked GMP as my first option when i am not even eligible for it. i have marked my second & third option as BM & HR. i cannot stop cursing myself for doing such a stupid thing. is their anyway i can help myself now?? prbably by shooting a mail to the xlri ppl or something... please help seniors:banghead::banghead::banghead:

13. The district health officer boasts that the average ambulance turnaround time, the
time from summons to delivery of the patient, has been reduced this year for top-priority
emergencies. This is a serious misrepresentation. This "reduction" was produced simply
by redefining "top priority". Such emergencies Used to include gunshot wounds and
electrocutions, the most time-consuming cases. Now they are limited strictly to heart
attacks and strokes.
Which one of the following would strengthen the author's conclusion that it was the
redefinition of "top priority" that produced the reduction in turnaround time?
A. The number of heart attacks and strokes declined this year.
B. The health officer redefined the district's medical priorities this year.
C. One half of all last year's top-priority emergencies were gunshot wounds and
electrocution cases.
D. Other cities include gunshot wound cases in their category of top-priority
emergencies.

hey folks,
My apologies if I'm asking wrong question or at wrong place but please do guide me. have been hearing about "101 ethical dilemas" book for a while but i cudnt get a link to download the same, can anyone please mail me or share the link for the same?
If anyone is willing to mail it please let me know, i'll PM my mailid.
Thanks,

well here project manager though is not much concerned about such issues but for shantanu it obviously becomes a kind of apprehension well no doubt if in passage its mentioned like shantanu was on leave and then employees contacted higher authority thats very much possible in companies ,but in his prescence his team member is reporting to project manager,now here in specific case that manager is not concerned suppose second time also some other team member does this thing reports to project manager without consulting shantanu then project manager will some or other time get doubt wether shanatnu is really efficient in controlling his team.well ihave worked in private company iknow how employees are rerpimanded for reporting to some superior than the person whom they immediately report.
thats why i thought awnser must be 2
Its mentioned that there is a fixed hierarchy in the org. So Shantanu should discuss this with the PM and the team mate so that companies process and hierarchy doesn't gets affected. Just because the PM is not bothered doesn't frees shantanu from ignoring the orgs process. Further if he reprimands the team mate that would leave a bad impression on the entire team and the PM as it is the PM who has asked the team mate to report him directly..
So my take is 3
DIRECTIONS: Questions 14-19 are based on the passage below.
Deliberative democracy demands a reflexive (or reflection driven) reordering of preferences in a non-coercive manner. The authenticity of democracy requires in addition that these reflective preferences, influence collective outcomes and action, and so long as
the state is the main (though far from exclusive) locus of collective decisions, it requires discursive mechanisms for transmission of public opinion to the state. A deliberative or more properly a discursive democracy, in order that it can accommodate several competing versions of democracies such as the liberal, the minimal, me difference, etc., must also accommodate rhetoric, narratives, and empathy along with reasoning. A
rationality and a reasoning that does not accommodate values is meaningless. However, it is also argued that' individual rationality cannot he realized if values are embedded in the decision procedures, in other words, realization of values could be made possible only
when individuals behave non- rationally. Further if values having been abandoned at the individual level are accorded a place only collectively, the same must lead to either "epistemological inconsistency or abandonment of autonomy of individual evaluations".
A talk or a rhetoric, otherwise, is strategic and is employed with the intention of signaling certain information. Such a talk can be therefore deceptive and coercive. The illocutionary force and the normative trappings of a Foucauldian discourse while allowing identification with a community and differences with the others, do simultaneously pose through coercion a threat to an utterance as such. If democracy cannot ensure utterance as freedom and if the illocutionary forces in a discursive democracy disciplines the thought and the talk, then how such a democracy could indeed be called authentic! Most human actions and discourses are actuated by a deeper or primordial antedeliberation
Desire (let us use a capital 'D'). Speaking as such is out of such a Desire (one might use volition or passion). Engaging in a deliberation or else in an action is possible
only since there has been such a Desire. Desire appears to both the reflection and also to an observer as a mental-state. A discourse can be set only when such mental states are in harmony, or share a common predisposition or attitude. In the absence of such shared
mental-states, no discourse and no deliberation can begin. A running underlying and most often unstated theme that remains at the back of the idea of deliberative democracy is competition - a competition with the 'other' which introduces strategy. The alternative to
competition, a mental-state which is out of a Desire to enjoy the 'other' in the light of a memorythat this 'one' and the 'other' were but the same and would again become the same, do not appear in the known Anglo-American literature. Such a mental-state might
generate and keep alive possibilities of cooperation although is never a state of cooperation alone as such.
14. Which of the following follows from the passage above?
A. A rhetoric laden talk can generate authentic democratic collective choice
B. Irrational persons alone can have values
C. Authenticity of democracy requires a strong reflection-action interaction
D. A paradigm of competition alone can sustain an authentic democracy
15. Desire as ante-deliberation driving action refer to:
A. Irrationality of deliberation
B. Uselessness of deliberation
C. Desire to act without thinking
D. Temporal inconsistency in a position that argues for deliberative action constituting
democracy
16. Which of the following is true from the passage?
A. Author argues that democracy is bound to fail
B. Author argues that Desire is primal
C Author argues for an, end to primal desire so that an end to competition can come
through
D. None of the above
17. A Foucauldian discourse as used in the passage does NOT refer to:
A. Discourse based on power
B. Community based discourse
C Strategic discourse
D. None of the above
18. Which of the following words is. closest to the word 'primordial' as used in the
passage above?
A. Elemental
B. Anarchist
C. Animalistic
D. Nihilistic
19. Which of the following captures the spirit of the position that the author hints at
through the phrase 'alternative to competition'?
A. All the pragmatic world is-a stage -a play unfolding
B. Democracy is an unruly fight among citizens
C. Socialist planning does away with the chaos of competition
D. None of the above
