question 4 (1 point)
which of these describes an important element of a strong mission statement?
it includes a description of an organizations target market.
it could describe many organizations.
it uses current industry buzzwords.
it could work as a catchy company slogan.

Explanation:

• For the first question: In a win - lose solution, one side (the majority here) "wins" (their decision is taken) and the other side (the minority, which is three - fifths of the team) "loses" (their opinions are not considered).
• For the second question: A strong mission statement should be specific. Including a description of an organization's target market makes it more specific. A mission statement that could describe many organizations (lack of specificity), uses current industry buzzwords (fads change), or is just a catchy slogan (lacks depth about the organization's purpose) is not a strong mission statement.

Answer:

• First question: win - lose solution
• Second question: It includes a description of an organization's target market.
