Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: Fayol worked about the same time period as Taylor and was also fairly scientific in his approach. However, Taylor was the person who stressed being scientific and coined the term scientific management in his 1911 book. Mintzberg and Katz also contributed to ideas about scientific management, but both of these thinkers came later.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B
Explanation: Lowering cost is a measure of increased efficiency. Making better candy is a measure of increased effectiveness. So lowering cost for unimproved candy shows an increase in efficiency but not effectiveness.
