Question

To increase its competitive advantage, HRV Automobiles seeks to improve the efficiency of its production plants. By doing this, HRV is addressing a _____ in the value chain analysis.
a. primary activity
b. secondary activity
c. support activity
d. premier activity

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the most appropriate answer is option (A) because primary activity in a value chain analysis shows the five main activities i.e. inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing & sales, and service.

Here operations defined the manufacturing and sales operation.

While the other options are not correct because of the following reasons:

• Option (B) is not correct because there is no secondary activity in the value chain analysis.

• Option (C) is not correct because support activity shows the four activities i.e infrastructure, technological development, HRM, and procurement which doesn't show any type of manufacturing process.

• Option (D) is not correct because there is no premier activity in value chain analysis.
