Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Classical, human relations, and high-involvement are three different sets of assumptions about employees and how they should be managed. Classical assumes that employees are solely motivated by financial incentives and need to be closely supervised, managed and controlled. Human relations assumes that employees are motivated by social needs and desire to belong to a group. High involvement assumes that employees are driven by a sense of ownership and the desire to contribute to the success of the organization. Different strategies, such as low cost and differentiation, relate more to the overall competitive strategy of the organization, while corporate, competitive, and business are different levels of strategic planning. Defender, prospector, and analyzer refer to types of business strategies.
