Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

Explanation:  Thoreau was a philosopher, writer and devotee of nature. His philosophy was based on independence, freedom of mind. He felt that the government was restricting people from taking care of themselves, their needs. He was not an anarchist but believed in minimal, almost no governmental restrictions.

He considered the rule of the majority is not good, because it implied the compulsion of having to go with the group and follow the rules of the group, which was restrictive for him. The only obligation, according to Thoreau, was to follow his conscience. That way, he would only do what he thought was right, and he would be obliged to do only what was right.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: b)  Alia, who expands the resource base so that funds can be distributed equitably

Explanation: Conflict control is the method that is used for settling any dispute that occurs between two or more parties in an organization. Disagreement on any matter, different aims personal subject etc can be a source of conflict between people.

Alia follows the most efficient way of managing people as she extends and distributes the central resource to disperse the fund in equal amount. She is cutting out the conflict source by providing the resource reach to everyone along with equal fund distribution.Thus, no employee can raise a dispute on having unequal share, low resource ,inferiority etc.

Other options are not appropriate because Lydia is eliminating the cluttered information and hiring of new employees with new thoughts and aim done by Robert are not the way of controlling conflicts.

Settling the matter through compromise by Gregor is the way of ending a dispute but the dispute started and then was settled by Gregor. In case of Alia , the dispute causing factor is eliminated so that conflict do not happen.

Thus, the most efficient answer is option(b).
