Answer to Question 1

B
Complexity theory suggests that systems interact and adapt and that decision making occurs throughout the systems, as opposed to being held in a hierarchy. In complexity theory, every voice counts, and therefore, all levels of staff would be involved in decision making.

Answer to Question 2

B
Position control is the process of providing and measuring the correct FTE, or complement, to adequately staff a given area.
