Answer:
True
Explanation:
The theory of constraints focuses on establishing the most important limiting factor or constraint in a business and improve it in order to improve the whole company's performance.
In simple terms, a company recognizes their greatest weakness and tries to improve it, so that it no longer represents a limitation.
This theory was originally developed for manufacturing companies, and it was meant to reduce bottlenecks (manufacturing constraints). Therefore one of its main goals is to lower inventory levels and operating costs while increasing production output.
Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
Answer:
D) were highly likely to be in their lower-achieving group.
Explanation:
Theory X refers to a motivation theory developed by Douglas McGregor. Theory X can be described as a pessimistic view of humanity and human workers. Managers who support theory X tend to dislike their own work and believe everyone else dislikes their work, are not ambitious and believe everyone else is not ambitious either, and finally don't like to assume responsibility over their actions and believe everyone else is like them.
So it shouldn't be a surprise that managers who support theory X are underachievers.
