Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Social responsiveness requires the organization to be responsive to some popular social need. For example, a company that builds a community recreation center in a community that lacks facilities is being socially responsive.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: A manager who subscribes to the theory of justice view of ethics takes societal conditions into account when making decisions. If a worker is unable to live on the minimum wage, this manager is likely to pay more than that amount to ensure that she is treating her employees in a fair and just way. This rules out the minimum wage and less than the minimum wage. It also rules out according to how productive they were, which corresponds to a utilitarian view of ethics, rewarding workers only in proportion to how valuable they are to the organization.
