ARE 112 COMPLETE EXAMINATION TEST
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
●● 6. MECE
Answer: 1. Mutually exclusive: Is each issue a separate and distinct
issue?
2. Collectively exhaustive: Does every aspect of the problem come
under one, and only one, of
the issues
3. One reason this is done is to guard against making and early selection
of solutions before all the
facts are known - similar to the fundamental attribution error which will
be discussed later
●● 8. Classical management
Answer: careful selection and
training of worker such as motion studies
standardization, specialization (of tasks and functions), goal alignment,
hierarchy, planning and control, extrinsic rewards
A principal factor for the development of the classical school of
management was the industrial
revolution in the late 1800's that needed an efficient manufacturing
process with a trained labor
,force.
●● scientific management
Answer: Frederick Taylor - Taylorism
i. Design jobs with standards leading to
efficiency
ii. Select workers to fit the job design
iii. Train works to follow the design
iv. Support workers by planning
their work
●● 9. Anthony's management hierarchy and the four layers
Answer: strategic planning - executives: markets, products, suppliers,
customers, capital expenditures,
management control - labor levels, buffers stocks, line balancing, traning
systems
operational control - supervisors: scheduling work, crew assignments,
maintenance schedule, production rates
organizational members - workers: doing actual work
●● a. Executives:
Answer: strategic planning - executives: markets, products, suppliers,
customers, capital expenditures,
,●● b. Managers:
Answer: management control - labor levels, buffers stocks, line
balancing, traning systems
●● c. Supervisors:
Answer: operational control - supervisors: scheduling work, crew
assignments, maintenance schedule, production rates
●● d. Workers:
Answer: organizational members - workers: doing actual work
●● 10. Abraham Maslow and his theory of human needs
Answer: i. Physiological needs: food, water,
physical well being
ii. Safety needs: shelter, protection,
stability
iii. Social needs: love, affection,
belongingness
iv. Esteem needs: respect, prestige,
mastery
v. Self-actualization needs: selffulfillment, growth
, vi. So people have deficits in these needs and they work to satisfy these
needs in the
hierarchy from physiological needs up to self-actualization needs.
●● 11. Theory X and Theory Y
Answer: i. X: assumes people do not like
to work and want to be led
ii. Y: assumes people are willing
to work and can be creative
iii. If a manager holds to one or
the other approaches - X or Y
- then a self-fulfilling
prophecy can occur: people
will do what the boss wants
them to do
●● 12. Management Sciences Approach
Answer: The application of quantitative
tools and applied mathematics to management issues. This is a current
trends but not
quite approaches yet for everyone as are the classical and behavioral
approaches.
