Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: Weber spent a lot of time and effort studying bureaucracies, which he characterized as an ideal of organizational structure, especially for large organizations, making a bureaucracy the correct response and ruling out all other choices.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: Robert Owen was appalled by the conditions that workers were subjected to and in response developed the idea of the idealistic workplace that was free of oppression, making this choice the correct response. Henri Fayol and Max Weber worked out ideas about good management in the general administrative theory. Henry Gantt developed a number of brilliant scheduling devices for managers. Hugo Munsterberg was a pioneer in industrial psychology, using psychological tests to evaluate employees.
