Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: Though organizational activities required in both the American Revolution and the building of the Brooklyn Bridge probably made some contributions to the evolution of management, they were minor compared to those contributed by the Industrial Revolution, which changed the scale and scope of manufacturing and business, making the Industrial Revolution the correct response. The advent of the personal computer had an enormous impact on management practices, but it was a twentieth century, not a pre-twentieth century, development.

Answer: A
Explanation: The Industrial Revolution is credited with originating the corporation, making this choice the correct response. Rather than specialize in craftsmanship, fair pay, or fair treatment for workers, Industrial Revolution factories and corporations tended to do a poor job with these items, making them incorrect responses.
