Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: Henry Gantt developed a number of brilliant graphical methods for the improvement of scheduling and planning that included the Gantt chart and the load chart, making scheduling the correct response. Gantt's charts did not address problems of discipline or leadership and only very peripherally touched on decision making as it pertained to scheduling.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: Henri Fayol and Max Weber worked out ideas about good management in the general administrative theory, making this choice the correct response. Robert Owen was concerned with working conditions and developed the idea of the idealistic workplace. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth made time-and-motion studies. Frederick W. Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management introduced the idea of managing using objective, scientific measures and empirical data rather than intuition to make decisions.
