Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

A system is an organized arrangement of elements that are interdependent and interconnected to form a purposeful, organic whole. Systemic thinking is vital to managers anytime they are expected to help make changes in the organization. The reason: nothing ever operates in complete isolation from everything else. If a manager makes one change in his or her department, other changes will likely follow in other places in the organization. Likewise, an awareness of the organization's culture is vital to making changes. Less experienced managers sometimes forget how their organization is connected to the outside world, or sometimes lose touch with the internal organizational culture. When implementing organizational changes, managers may be surprised at how much resistance to change subordinates and fellow managers might harbor. To be effective, managers must maintain an awareness that they are working within a whole system that is part of an even larger system in society.
