Instructions

Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow.

Saradeep was the proprietor of Saradeep & Sons Pvt. Ltd., an auto parts manufacturing company. He had three children--Taapsi, Kesar and Sandeep. His wife passed away when Sandeep, the youngest kid of the family, was only eight years old. Taapsi, being the eldest sibling, was more of a mother to Kesar and Sandeep.

Taapsi and Kesar joined Saradeep’s business right after college because Saradeep trusted them immensely. He once told Kesar, “I want key positions to be held by the people I trust."

Saradeep wanted Sandeep also to join his business like Kesar and Taapsi. Saradeep felt that Sandeep had a strong business sense, probably the best among his three children. Hence, Saradeep wanted Sandeep to take his higher education in business studies. However, Sandeep had other aspirations; he wanted to become a lawyer. Of late, he was offered admission to the prestigious National Law School, Bengaluru. As soon as he received the admission offer, he rushed to share this news with his family members.

Question 93

Saradeep requested Kesar to decide on the head of a new manufacturing plant. The plant and its culture had to be moulded in the same way as their other plants. Kesar wanted to identify a candidate, acceptable to Saradeep.

Which of the following candidates is the BEST choice for the position?

Solution

Taapsi will not be a suitable choice as she is already heading another plant and also the travelling will take too much time. Dhanush has been with the organisation for three years only so Saradeep will not be comfortable in making him the plant head. Sandeep will join law school in 10 months so he is also not a good choice as after that he would have to leave the plant. Suhasini is Kesar's wife so Saradeep will definitely trust her but since she has been a homemaker for fifteen years so she is not a good choice to head the plant. Surendra is the best choice as has been the deputy head of their largest plant so he will know the workings of the plant throughly and besides that he has been with the organisation for 30 years which means that Saradeep will definitely trust him.
