Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question implies a shift away from traditional scientific management (mass manufacturing) towards more flexible and team-oriented work structures. Choice C, flexible specialization, best captures this shift. Union demands (A) and extrinsic motivators (D) are not mentioned in the question and do not relate directly to the shift in work structures being described. While increased productivity (B) might be a goal of these new work structures, it is not the main focus described in the question.
