Meera, the CEO of a Pune-based manufacturing firm, studies market trends, sees how production, finance and marketing fit into the whole business, and uses this to set a ten-year vision. Which skill is she mainly using?
Meera is using conceptual skill, the ability to view the organisation as a whole, see how its parts interrelate and think strategically. Setting a long-term vision from an overall understanding of the business is a typical top-management use of this skill, not technical or human skill.

Explanation
Conceptual skill is the mental ability to see the organisation as a whole, understand how its parts relate and think strategically. Meera's long-term vision from an overall view of the business shows this. Technical skill relates to specialised tools and techniques, so option A is wrong.
