Performance in Service Industries

Question 1

Which of the following is a key characteristic of services referred to by the acronym IHIP?

10:08 ✓✓

A Intangibility means services cannot be seen, touched, or stored before purchase. ✓

B Homogeneity implies standardised quality across all service providers.

C Separability indicates that production and consumption can occur at different times.

D Durability refers to the ability to store services for future use.

10:08 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Intangibility is a core IHIP trait—services can't be physically examined. Homogeneity contradicts Heterogeneity; Separability contradicts Inseparability; Durability contradicts Perishability. These reversals exploit common acronym confusion.

10:08 ✓✓

Strategic, Tactical and Operational Planning

Question 2

Which statement correctly contrasts strategic and operational planning?

10:08 ✓✓

A Strategic planning uses detailed internal data, while operational planning uses external forecasts.

B Strategic planning is short-term and certain, while operational planning is long-term and uncertain.

C Strategic planning is done by front-line supervisors, while operational planning is for executives.

D Strategic planning is future-oriented and external, while operational planning is internal and structured. ✓

10:08 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Strategic planning is future-focused and considers external factors (market, competition). Operational planning is internal, structured, and based on current data. Option A reverses data use. Option B swaps time horizons. Option C reverses responsibility levels.

10:08 ✓✓

Nature and Purpose of Budgeting

Question 3

A company includes carbon emission reduction targets in its annual budget. Which modern consideration does this reflect?

10:08 ✓✓

A Financial auditing standards

B Sustainability in budgeting ✓

C Shareholder dividend policy

D Tax avoidance strategy

10:08 ✓✓

✅ Correct!
Including environmental targets reflects sustainability in budgeting (CIMA guidance). Option A is irrelevant. Option C is financial, not operational. Option D is unethical and unrelated.
