A.Controlling
B.Planning
C.Leading

A.Operational plan
B.Strategic plan
C.Daily rota
D.Budget variance report

3Which of the following is typically the first step in a rational planning process?
A.Implement the chosen plan without analysis
B.Establish clear objectives
C.Fire underperforming staff
D.Ignore environmental information
Explanation: Rational planning begins by establishing clear objectives so later environmental analysis, alternative generation and choice all serve a defined purpose.

A.Strong brand loyalty among existing customers
B.Highly skilled employees
C.Entry of new competitors into the market
D.Efficient internal logistics
Explanation: Threats are external factors that can harm the firm. New competitors entering the market come from outside the organisation and can reduce sales or margins.
5A weekly production schedule for a Limassol bakery is best described as:
A.A strategic plan

C.To replace all internal strengths with weaknesses
D.To eliminate the need for controlling
Explanation: Environmental analysis helps planners spot external opportunities to exploit and threats to defend against, improving the realism of objectives and chosen actions.

A.Tactical plans are usually longer-term than strategic plans
B.Tactical plans translate strategy into medium-term departmental actions
C.Tactical plans ignore organisational objectives
D.Tactical plans are prepared only by front-line operators

A.Serves the whole market with the lowest price only
B.Concentrates on a narrow market segment, often with differentiation
C.Avoids all competition
D.Copies every rival product exactly
Explanation: A focus strategy concentrates on a particular segment. Firms may combine focus with differentiation (unique offering for that niche) or with cost focus.

A.Setting clear, measurable standards
B.Writing objectives that cannot be measured
C.Communicating plans to staff
D.Reviewing assumptions periodically
Explanation: Control compares actual results with planned standards. If objectives cannot be measured, managers cannot judge variance or take corrective action effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Pancyprian Technical School Business Organisation and Administration exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as a constructed-response and mixed written paper under code 517. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for revision; practise every required non-MCQ component with official past papers and the specification.

How is the subject marked?

Like all Pancyprian access subjects it is marked on a 0–20 scale. There is no pass mark; the grade contributes to the access/ranking grade used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

What is the 2026 exam fee?

EUR 25.00 per access subject (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable by card in the official 2–17 April 2026 window, with exemptions for specified groups.

Why is the practice bank in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice URL per exam. Where the tested skill is another language, stems/options may retain that language while explanations stay in English. The bank is not an official translation of the Greek exam environment.

How should I use this bank with official materials?
