9)What is the dominant strategy for bidders in an English oral auction?9)A)Bid until the previous bid price equals the reservati
Sophie [7]

Answer: B) Keep bidding until all other bidders quit, regardless of your reservation price.

Explanation: Familiar to English auctions, the bidders are aware of the prices of items on sale and the numbers of other bidders. This price is known as the reserve or reservation price which is the limit on the price of the item on sale set by the seller (that is the lowest price the seller is willing to sell the item). The bids start at a low price and keeps coming in until there are no more bids irregardless of the reservation price set. It probably depends on how much you value the item on sale and are willing to pay for it. Not necessarily on the reservation price.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Theory X

Explanation:

It is correct to say that this manager is using the management approach known as theory X, which is a philosophy that says employees work only for the benefits they receive, and that they avoid job responsibilities, so management must be inflexible and follow the hierarchy of functions, with the manager being responsible for a high degree of supervision of the work and the responsibility of the employee for any error.

Theory X may not be ideal for the current administration, where the focus of organizations are people and the formation of a culture focused on innovation and collaboration.
