In theBusiness Motivation Model (BMM), aGoalis anEnd. The BMM defines a Goal as a statement about astate or condition of the enterprise (or its environment) that the enterprise intends to bring about or sustain. That definitional phrase is captured directly in optionB.

Goals arebroad, long-term, and not directly measurable; they express direction and desired future conditions.

More specific, time-bound, and measurable targets are modeled asObjectives, not Goals. Thus, characteristics likeattainable and measurable(option C) describe an Objective, not a Goal.

While Goals are ultimately realized via business processes (through strategies, tactics, and courses of action), the BMM models that realization indirectly; the direct relationship is thatMeans (such as Courses of Action) realize Ends (Goals/Objectives). So option D is not the defining characteristic.

Option A (“should be broad”) is generally true but is not the core definitional statement; BMM’s precise wording emphasizes thestate to be brought about, which is optionB.

Therefore, the key BMM-defined characteristic is thata Goal describes a state to be brought about or sustained.

Traditional (functional) work managementorganizes people and work bydepartments or specialties(e.g., Sales, Finance, HR, Operations). From an OMG BPM and value-chain perspective, the mainweaknessof this traditional model is that it:

Focuses onoptimizing individual functionsrather than optimizing theend-to-end processthat delivers value to customers.

Encourageslocal optimization(department KPIs) at the expense of global optimization (process performance, customer experience).

Createssilosand coordination issues across boundaries.

This is captured inOption D:

Lack of end-to-end focus

Why the other options are wrong:

A. Clear definition of roles and responsibilities– That is typically astrengthof functional management; roles are clearly defined within each department.

B. Functional excellence– Functional organizations often deliverstrong specialist expertise; again, that’s a strength, not a weakness.

C. Bad vision and mission– Vision and mission areenterprise-level strategic artifacts, not intrinsic to functional vs process structure.

Thus, the key structural weakness of traditional functional management is itslack of end-to-end focus, soDis correct.

===============

InBPMN, a rounded rectangle with adashed borderaround activities is aGroupartifact.

Key BPMN semantics for aGroup:

It ispurely documentary: used to visually group related activities (for example, labeling them “Process Payment” or “Deliver Product”).

Itdoes not affect execution semantics—sequence flow, data flow, and transaction behavior areexactly the same as if the group were not drawn.

Looking at the diagram:

The sequence is:Verify Credit → Process Payment → Deliver Product → Notify Customer, each connected by normal sequence flows.

The two dashed rectangles just visually cluster the first two and last two activities; there are no special events or gateways.

Now the options:

A. Activities that are in the dashed rectangle must exchange data.BPMN Groups say nothing about data exchange; this is incorrect.

B. The activities are executed as if the dashed rectangles do not exist.This matches the BPMN definition of a Group artifact and is correct.

C. Canceling "Notify Customer" will cancel the result of "Deliver Product".That would require atransaction subprocess with cancel behavior, not just a Group.

D. "Verify Credit" and "Process Payment" are executed in parallel. "Deliver Product" and "Notify Customer" are executed in parallel.Parallelism requires a parallel gateway or similar construct; here, a simple sequence flow shows they are executedsequentially.

Therefore, the correct statement is that thedashed rectangles have no execution effect: optionB.

Chang states clearly thatInformation Technology (IT)is thekey enablerof Business Process Re-engineering (BPR), as it allows radical redesign of processes rather than incremental improvement.

HenceCis correct.
