This document contains 100+ exam-style questions with 100% correct answers for WVU BCOR 370 Exam 2 (Houghton, 2026). It comprehensively covers social responsibility, organizational structure, human resource management (HRM), global management, entrepreneurship, and performance management concepts aligned with Principles of Management coursework.
The material begins with corporate social responsibility (CSR), outlining the four levels of social responsibility: economic responsibility (“run an effective business” – Milton Friedman), legal responsibility (“play by the rules”), ethical responsibility (“do what is right”), and discretionary responsibility (“go beyond the call of duty” – Andrew Carnegie). It then transitions into organizing principles, including work specialization, departmentalization, chain of command, delegation, authority, span of control (optimal span noted as seven direct reports), centralization versus decentralization, and formalization.
Organizational design structures are clearly defined, including mechanistic versus organic organizations, functional structure, geographic structure, product structure, and matrix structure. The guide also explains Disney’s orientation and training culture as an example of organizational socialization and cultural reinforcement. Key HRM topics include recruitment (internal and external sources), selection tools (applications, interviews, testing), validity versus reliability, training and development, performance management, workforce maintenance procedures, and progressive discipline documentation.
Legal and regulatory HRM frameworks are thoroughly addressed, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Equal Pay Act of 1963, ADA of 1990, and Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ). Additional topics include HR planning, job analysis, job description, job specification, strategic human resource management, compensation equity, and workforce planning. Selection tools such as general mental ability tests, motor and physical ability tests, personality tests, work sample tests, and management assessment centers are clearly explained.
The global management section explores Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions (power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, masculinity vs. femininity, short- vs. long-term orientation), political and legal risks, exchange rates, economic environments, infrastructure, and managing cross-cultural communication challenges. Entrepreneurship concepts include internal locus of control, high achievement need, tolerance for ambiguity, time sensitivity, and risk assumption.
