Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The operational, bureaucratic, administrative, and behavioral approaches studied management by dividing it into elements or components. While taking things apart is useful for analytical purposes, in reality all relevant parts of organizational activity interact with each other. Reductionism in management thought may lead to simplistic prescriptions and may not help us understand why some firms perform at higher levels than others. System theorists believe that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
