Question 11 (2 points) Consider the product-Process matrix below. Two firms competing against each other, the off-diagonal firm faces alignment pressure from the on-diagonal firm. That is, everything else being equal, the off-diagonal firm will be at a competitive disadvantage compared to the on-diagonal firm. Consider the impact of flexibility on the Product-Process matrix. Choose ONE statement that you believe to be TRUE: a) Flexibility allows an off-diagonal firm A to compete against an on-diagonal firm successfully; b) Flexibility allows an off-diagonal firm B to compete against an on-diagonal firm successfully; c) Flexibility allows an off-diagonal firm C to compete against an on-diagonal firm successfully; d) Flexibility has no impact on the Product-Process matrix; firms A, B, and C all are at a disadvantage compared to an on-diagonal firm; e) Flexibility makes Product-Process matrix irrelevant---firms A, B and C are as competitive as any on-diagonal firm.
