Taken from the free sample set for L3M4.
An expediter would be expected to primarily:
Undertake purchasing research
Deliver in-house procurement training
Chase up late or potentially late deliveries
Correct answer: C
Chase up late or potentially late deliveries - a task which in an ideal procurement world, would be unnecessary. I am hoping that ' in the real world ' the volume of this type of activity is in decline.
‘A person may exert power on the basis of their formal authority or status’
Which of the French and Raven sources of power is being described here?
Reward
Referent
Legitimate
Expert
Correct answer: C
The Chief Executive has power because they are in the post of the Chief Executive.
The Head of Procurement has power because they carry that job title.
They may also have other sources of power such as expert power, or charisma, but the correct re-sponse to the QUESTION NO: is ' legitimate ' .
' Coercive ' and ' informational ' can also be sources of power not shown in the question.
