Answer to Question 1

C
The area of focus for scientific management is labor productivity. In bureaucratic theory, efficiency is
achieved through impersonal relations within a formal structure and is based on positional authority.
Administrative principle theory consists of principles of management that are relevant to any
organization.

Answer to Question 2

D
A five-step decision-making process has been identified by Little-Stoetzel (Kelly, 2008). These five steps are: 1) identify the need for a decision; 2) determine the goal or outcome; 3) identify alternatives or actions with consequences of each; 4) choose an alternative; and 5) evaluate the alternative chosen; did it meet your goal?
