Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

Rationale: Biomedical engineering is considered part of the maintenance subsystem, not the supportive subsystem. Those handling hazardous waste disposal, marketing, and purchasing are all considered part of the supportive subsystem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Rationale: Subsystems have nothing to do with the management levels in each subsystem. Breaking the whole into subsystems allows for a clear understanding of each part and the entire organization. This classification also assists in understanding the real, social, and behavioral aspects of the organization.
