Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brooke's perspective is that there are exceptions to the claim that labor and management are rivals in most organizations. Option B presents examples of such exceptions, where there is cooperation between labor and management, such as employee involvement in decision making and self-managing teams. The other options do not support Brooke's perspective. Option A states that labor and management have acted like adversaries after the 1980s, which supports Laura's claim. Option C also supports Laura's perspective by stating that finding win-win solutions is almost impossible due to conflicting goals. Option D talks about defining jobs narrowly, which does not relate to the topic of labor and management cooperation. Option E makes a generalized statement about unionization leading to loss of profits, which is not specific to labor and management relations.
