Unfair Question?
Mon, 2005-12-12 23:03 — jrearick
My Management 370 professor (Dr. Hunger) wrote a book on management. We do not use his text for class for some reason. In lecture he often comments about what the author of our text says and sometimes adds to what is in the text book or even tells us not to pay attention to some definitions. Though when it comes to test time here is a question.
The textbook listed five contingency factors that influence organization design (structure). Which of the following did Hunger add to the textbook's list?Is the instructor testing our knowledge of the material or our knowledge of who taught us what? Which is more important? I hope I do not run into many of these in the final. I will not remember who said what for information that was presented to me 3 months ago.
a. Organizational life cycle
b. Technology
c. Environment
d. People (L)
e. Size

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with that question. It's just like saying, "Which one of the following is not a contingency factor that influences organization design?" Teachers do that all the time. Also, differientiating between who thinks what among "experts" is very important in academia.
