Question

Which of the following is not one of the five observed ways in which managerial behavior differs from the classical description of managers?
a. Managers perform a great deal of work at an unrelenting pace.
b. Managerial activities are fragmented.
c. Managers prefer regular, written reports on firm activities.
d. Managers prefer oral forms of communication.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Managers prefer regular, written reports on firm activities.

Explanation:

Managerial behavior is an approach that focused on the implementation of motivation within the work-frame. The classical management perspective, on the other hand, states that employees are driven by physical and economic needs. It sets aside the worker's job satisfaction and mainly focuses on job specialization. When comparing the two points of view, written reports on firm activities have nothing to do.
