Answer:
This was an actual court case that ended in the Court of Appeals of the First District of California. Initially a lower court had ruled against the Sharabianlous and set extremely high compensations for damages to Berenstein. I do not understand why the court did it since it was proven that the land was contaminated and couldn't be sold under unless cleaned.
Finally, the court of appeals ruled in favor of the Sharabianlous, not because they thought they were right, but due to errors in the original trial.
The big issue in this case was that the contract signed by the Sharabianlous wasn't clear enough about what would happen if the land was not suitable for sale and they also failed to seek a lawyer when the contamination issues became obvious. If you read the case, even the real estate broker acted against the Sharabianlous when the property was appraised since he didn't tell the appraiser about the contamination issues.
The final ruling was made in 2010, 8 years after the parties engaged in the transaction, which gives us an idea of how complicated things can get when legal procedures are not followed, even though the outcome should be obvious.
If I was part of a jury and the case was about property that couldn't be sold due to contamination, I would probably vote in favor of the buyer, not the seller. It's common sense, but sometimes it you do not follow the appropriate legal path, common sense makes no sense at all.
Answer:
Theory X Manager
Explanation:
Douglas McGregor presented this perspectives of human being named as Theory X (which is labeled as negative).
McGregor after studying the manager's behavior and how they are dealing with their employees, came to the conclusion that the manager’s views of the nature of human beings are built on the particular assumptions taken from their behavior.
According to Theory X, managers tend to believe that not liking the work is present in employee nature and therefore it is necessary to direct or even force them to perform tasks and their required job.
To put it another way, theory X basically tries to put that all humans and particularly employees are lazy, and they don't want to work, they are required to pull and push for doing so.
