QUESTION: 30

The management team in the above problem assigns each goal a numerical value designating its importance. The “bulls eyes,” circles and triangles are replaced by the values 3, 2 and 1 respectively. Entries are made in each box by multiplying the 3, 2 or 1 by the goal value. The importance of each activity is calculated by adding the entries in its row.
