Answer:
The answer is A) Puts emphasis on the external environment, which plays a role in determining a company´s ability to achieve above-average returns.
Explanation:
The I/O Model of Above-Average Returns basically assumes that the industry in which a company decides to compete in has a much larger influence on performance (earnings and profit) than the choices the managers of this company make.
The basic assumptions of this organization model are:
- The external environment imposes pressures and constraints that determine the strategies of the company and will result in above average returns.
- It assumes competing companies control similar strategically relevant resources and pursue similar strategies.
- Resources are highly mobile across companies, so that any differences that might develop between companies will be short-lived.
- Decision-makers within the company are assumed to be rational and committed to acting in the company´s profit-maximizing behaviors.
