Sajjad1994 can you please post the explanation for this . Not sure how A-1 and A-2 are being manifested here.Thanks :D

A1 : Most employees included in at least some decisions

Interview Tab ( Point number 4) : Dancers stay with the company because of the collegial and collaborative atmosphere among the dancers and the resident choreographer; the cause of this atmosphere is attributed to the company's egalitarian structure.

Interview Tab ( Point number 5) : Dancers stay with the company because they enjoy participating with the resident choreographer in the design process, as it teaches them this choreographer's renowned style and approach.

Meaning :-

Collegial : happy to work with each other
Collaborative : involving two or more people working together for a special purpose

These employees are happily working with each other and they are a part of design process so it indicates that they must be giving some suggestions to the choreographer and they might be included. So this indicates that their decisions are being respected.
Read point 4 and point 5 together to get a broader picture for this answer.

A2 : Valuable training provided

Interview Tab ( Point number 2) : Dancers come in pursuit of the goal of working with the company's prestigious resident choreographer.

Interview Tab ( Point number 5) : Dancers stay with the company because they enjoy participating with the resident choreographer in the design process, as it teaches them this choreographer's renowned style and approach.

The highlighted words indicates about the valuable training provided.

As the choreographer is prestigious (respected; having a good reputation) and is having a renowned style and approach , it means they are being provided valuable training.

Q1 > I think that manifested meaning supposed to be "clearly show" ?

So for A1 : Most employees included in at least some decisions > I think we are just infer that they can make some decisions ? Even "participating with the resident choreographer in the design process" may be they just watch and learn ?

­Agreed. Whether the employees are included in 'decisions' or not seems to be open to interpretation. In question's like these, shouldn't we select a choice when we are quite sure that it is true? GMATNinja , GMATCoachBen , KarishmaB

­This is a great question and it gets to the heart of what's going on in some of the toughest DI problems.

In the interview tabs, it doesn't really say directly that employees are included in decisions. But it does says that they work in a "collaborative atmosphere." (Is it really collaboration if you're not involved in ANY decisions?) And it does say that the structure is egalitarian. (If only the higher-ups made decisions, that seems more hierarchical than egalitarian, right?)

So it might not feel great. You're not going to know for sure that you're right. But you have to embrace the ambiguity, decide that the evidence is sufficient (or not), and be decisive. There's really no alternative.

I hope that helps a bit!

­Hi everyone!

For question 1, could anyone explain please how do we infer that MOST employees are included in at least some decisions? Based on what is said in interviews 4 and 5, I see how we can confirm that at least some employees participate in decision-making, but I don't get how we can make a conclusion about MOST of the employees. Is it because it's said that interviews are "representative" samples?

Thanks!

­Yes, the word "representative" is important here! It tells us that these comments accurately represent the feelings of the population at large. If that population comments on a collaborative atmosphere, an egalitarian structure, and the ability to participate in design, then we can infer that most of the employees are involved in some decision-making.

Hey guys,
Regarding question 1, the first paragraph mentions that b) we are unsure whether a characteristic that tends to attract candidates may also increase employee retention. The statements 4 and 5 correspond to retention characteristics not attraction, and so based on b, we cannot extrapolate that is presence of A1 and A2. What am i missing here?
Thanks!

GMATNinja MartyMurray wanted to request your help please...
For question 2, statement 1, clearly relative importance of characterisitcs is demonstrated because it says that the dancer joins because it enhances their professional profile (so professional growth is number 1), then prestige is number 2 etc
but even before all of that the first filter for dancers is number 3, which is the dancers’ application criteria that they will play principal roles.
isn’t that sufficient evidence of the relative importance ?
