Answer to Question 1

c
RATIONALE: Firms guided by data-driven decision making have higher productivity and market value and increased output and profitability.

Answer to Question 2

b
RATIONALE: Step 1 of decision making, identifying and defining the problem, is the most critical. Only if the problem is well-defined, with clear metrics of success or failure (step 2), can a proper approach for solving the problem (steps 3 and 4) be devised. Decision making concludes with the choice of an alternative (step 5).
