When there are seven levels between a secretary and the CEO in an organization, it is considered to be tall.

When the controls of an organization are centralized, the communication between departments will be
- A.
Vertical
- B.
Horizontal
- C.
Directional
- D.
Hub and spoke
Correct Answer
A. VerticalExplanation
When the controls of an organization are centralized, the communication between departments will be vertical. This means that communication flows up and down the hierarchy, from top management to lower-level employees and vice versa. In a centralized structure, decisions and information typically come from the top and are passed down through the chain of command. This allows for clear direction and coordination within the organization. Horizontal communication, on the other hand, refers to communication between individuals or departments at the same level of the hierarchy, while directional and hub and spoke communication are not relevant in the context of centralized controls.Rate this question:

- B.

Correct Answer
D. Incentive programsExplanation
Incentive programs are not an aspect of an organic organization because they typically involve a more structured and hierarchical approach to motivating employees. Organic organizations, on the other hand, emphasize decentralized control, horizontal lines of communication, and loose roles to promote flexibility, adaptability, and collaboration among employees. Incentive programs are often associated with more traditional and mechanistic organizational structures where rewards are used as a means of control and motivation.Rate this question:

C. NonprogrammedExplanation
When selecting a new location for a second office, this decision would be considered nonprogrammed. Nonprogrammed decisions are unique and complex, typically involving unfamiliar or unstructured situations. In this case, choosing a new location for a second office requires careful evaluation of various factors such as market potential, accessibility, cost, and competition.

B. ProgrammedExplanation
When you make a routine, everyday decision, it is referred to as a programmed decision. Programmed decisions are repetitive and can be made using established rules, procedures, or guidelines. These decisions are usually made in response to well-defined problems or situations that have occurred before and have predetermined solutions. In contrast, nonprogrammed decisions are unique and require a higher level of analysis and judgment as they involve novel or complex problems that have not been encountered before. "Geocentric" is unrelated to the context of the question and does not fit as an explanation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Bounded rationality modelExplanation
The bounded rationality model suggests that individuals have limited cognitive abilities and information processing capabilities, leading them to make decisions that are not necessarily optimal but satisfactory. When someone settles for something else instead of finding the answer to their problem, it implies that they are making a decision based on the available information and their cognitive limitations, which aligns with the principles of bounded rationality.Rate this question:

The ecological model suggests that when making a decision, one should consider the overall impact and benefit it will have on the environment or ecosystem.

Which of the following are barriers to make decisions?
- A.
Statistics
- B.
Lack of statistics
- C.

- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "all of the above" because statistics can be a barrier to decision-making if they are not available or if they are misinterpreted. Lack of statistics can also hinder decision-making as it may lead to uncertainty or reliance on subjective opinions. Emotions can also be a barrier as they can cloud judgement and lead to irrational decision-making. Therefore, all three options listed - statistics, lack of statistics, and emotions - can act as barriers to making decisions.Rate this question:
