Exercise 110

The chief executive of a start-up high-technology company recently made several public announcements about the company's values. She emphasized that, although the company is less than one year old, its employees already have adopted a strong set of values around sharing, freedom and achievement. However, you personally know two employees at the company who say that employees don't really have a common set of values, and they are certainly not unanimous about the three values stated by the CEO. The CEO is likely describing the company's:
A) espoused values.
B) majority perceptions.
C) internal values.
D) external values.
E) enacted values.
