Answer to Question 1

C
Price is described as the amount of money customers pay to obtain the product. Customers con-sider the cost in terms of reasonableness. However, in a broader sense, cost is more than the money that is exchanged. Customers place value on products and services not only according to financial issues, but also according to psychosocial and emotional concerns.

Answer to Question 2

B
Complex change involves nonlinear processes and a variety of strategies to negotiate influences on change. Complexity theories alter the traditional systems thinking approach by asserting that system behavior is unpredictable. This theory views change as emergent, nonlinear, and highly influenced by all individuals and subsystems in an organization.
