Which best describes the reason situational leadership is so practical for managers to use?

1 answer:

5 0

Situational Leadership as a theory was developed by Dr. Paul Hersey in the late 1960s which aims to give further understanding between the leaders and its members. The fore cores of the theory are to ‘Diagnose’ (knowing the situation), ‘Adapt’ (Change the behaviors of the members in the level of the situation), ‘Communicate’ (letting the members understand the situation) and ‘Advance’ (further the developments). This is of course very helpful as its gives the leaders (managers) the opportunity to adjust themselves according to the situation. <span> </span>

What does reliability ensure? A. The system has the ability to operate in many different operating systems B. The system is easy

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C. The system is functioning correctly and providing accurate information

Explanation:

Reliability refers to the ability of a system or a machine to perform its intended function with minimal or nil breakdown. Consistency and validity of data from the performance of a system or a piece of equipment indicate its reliability. It is the possibility of failure-free operation of a system.

Reliability will, therefore, ensure a system is performing its function with minimal interruptions resulting from failures. It guarantees consistency in the results from operations. With reliability, production happens when it is needed.

During this stage of résumé review, employers use the résumé to guide interview questions

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

<h2>Yes, the resume give HR / Technical person to understand and spot questions from the resume.</h2>

Explanation:

Though the question is little incomplete, I would try to answer assuming about the interview phases especially this resume review.

Resume is the first thing which the interviewer would see before they see you (Eg. Resume from job portal, resume received through friends or other employee referral, resume received through job fairs, etc)

So the interviewer

can find whether the information given in the resume is true by spotting questions from that and testing your answer in the personal interview.

can also understand how your work and the organization's expectation meet.

can choose the best candidate by looking at the resume itself.

An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 3km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refi

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

$6,598,076.21

Explanation:

<h2>THE KEY IS TO FIND OUT THE COST FUNCTION, the calculations are very easy!!!</h2><h2></h2><h3>In order to find the cost function, take a look at the drawing attached. </h3>

We can see the river (sort of) that is 3 km wide and the storage tanks on the other side of the river 8 km apart.

<h3 />

Laying pipes under (across) the river costs 1,000,000 the km & laying pipes over land costs 500,000 per km.

<h3 /><h3>So basically the cost function is 1,000,000 multiplied by something plus 500,000 multiplied by another something.</h3><h3 />

The distance across the river can be found by using Pythagoras Theorem. A side is 3 km the other is unknown, so we call it X. And it is equal to:

$\sqrt{3^{2} +x^{2}}=\\\sqrt{9 +x^{2}}$

And we multiply it by 1,000,000; the cost of laying pipe under the river, the we get:

$1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}$

The distance over the land is (8-x), as we can see in the drawing. So we multiply it by its cost, 500,000. And we get 500,000(8-x).

So the cost function f(x) would be:

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)$

<h2>From here, we just have to differentiate and the derivative found must be equal to zero in order to minimize cost. </h2><h3>The value of x when the derivative is zero is plugged in the original function to get the cost.</h3><h3 /><h2>LET'S DO THIS</h2>

$f(x)=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(x)=1000000(9+x^{2})^{1/2}+4000000-500000x\\f'(x)=\frac{1}{2} 1000000(9+x^{2})^{-1/2}(2x)-500000\\\\f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000$

$f'(x)=\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} - 500000=0\\\frac{1000000x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 500000\\\frac{2x}{\sqrt{9+x^2}} = 1\\2x={\sqrt{9+x^2}}\\4x^2=9+x^2\\3x^2=9\\x^2=3\\x=\sqrt{3} \\$

And we plug square root of 3 in the original cost function ad we get

$f(\sqrt{3} )=1000000\sqrt{9+x^{2}} + 500000(8-x)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+(\sqrt{3} )^{2}} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{9+3} + 500000(8-(\sqrt{3}))\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000\sqrt{12}+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=1000000(3.46)+500000(6.27)\\f(\sqrt{3})=3464101.62+3133974.60\\f(\sqrt{3})=6598076.21\\$

<h2>so the minimal cost is $6,598,076.21</h2><h2 /><h3 />

Of those listed below, the best example of a pure public good is a. a public school b. a radio broadcast c. a hardcover copy of

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

b. a radio broadcast

Explanation:

The pure public good is a good which is non-rivalrous and non-excludable. Non-rivalrous represents that the goods does not diminshed in the case when more people consumed it while on the other hand, the non-excludable represents that the goods are available to all

Therefore as per the given options, the option b is correct

hence, the other options are incorrect
