A large telecommunications company wants to increase their Average Revenue Per User per month by 5%, by end of year, to increase revenue in a highly competitive market. From a SMART target perspective, what is missing?

BA - It is too easy of a target to attain

CR - Since competition is high, focus should be on increasing customer base and not on
ARPU

DS - There is no mention of which product group/line the target pertains to

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Covariance measures the directional relationship between the returns on two assets. A positive covariance means that asset returns move together while a negative covariance means they move inversely. Zero covariance indicates that the returns on the two assets move independently of each other. In the context of a scatter plot, zero covariance is represented by a plot where the points do not show any upward or downward trend but are rather scattered randomly on the graph with no discernible pattern.

Graph 4 displays such a pattern where there is no apparent relationship between the variables on the x and y axes, indicating that there is zero covariance between them.

I'm just glad they're not asking us to increase ARPU by 50%. That would be a real head-scratcher!

C is interesting, but I disagree. In a highly competitive market, focusing on ARPU is important for revenue growth, even if it means not increasing the customer base as much.

A is also a good point. The target should specify a timeline for when the increase needs to be achieved, not just by the end of the year.

I think the correct answer is D. The target is missing the specific product group or line it pertains to. Without that information, it's hard to really measure and achieve the 5% increase in ARPU.
