4Application of a model

Mathematical solutions suffer from somelimitations which are often classified asinherent limitations and empiricallimitations. Below are given a fewimportant limitations(i) It is almost impossible to identify andincorporate all the variables of thereality situation into the model(ii) There are many intangible variables towhich only national values can beassigned(iii) The functional relations between thevariables are often too vague ant elusivefor precision and qualification(iv) The mathematical tools should notchoose the real-life problems(v) The communication gap between themanager and the O. R. specialist isdifficult to bridge(vi) The level of basic management in mostenterprises is still crude and unrefined(vii) Imprecision in the input informationspoils the precision of mathematicalsolution(viii) The data and information baseavailable is often inadequate.Of the above, the inherent limitations are

1(i) + (ii) + (v) + (vi)
2(i) + (ii) + (iii) + (iv)
3(iii) + (iv) + (v) + (vi)
4(iv) + (v) + (vi) + (vii)

3.

In the list of limitations given above theempirical limitations are

1(i) + (iii) + (v) + (viii)
2(iv) + (v) + (vi) + (viii)
3(v) + (vi) + (vii) + (viii)
4(i) + (iii) + (iv) + (v)

Leadership is the activity of influencing people to strive willingly for group objectives. Leadership has been defined by

1Carry O'Donnell
2George R. Terry
3Irving R. Weschler
4Fred Massarik

5.

George R. Terry?s definition of leadershipputs emphasis on

1Willingness to accept
2Force to influence people
3Compulsion to influence people
4None to the above

6.

Given the following variables thatdetermine leadership(i) Followers (F) (ii) The goal (g)(iii) A measure of willingness (w)(iv) A given situation (s)(v) Leadership (L)The leadership function may be describedas

1F = f (L, g, w, s)
2L = f (F, g, w, s)
3g = f (F, L, w, s)
4s = f (F, L, w, g)

7.

Below are given four different theories(i) Trait approach(ii) Attitude criterion(iii) Behaviour approach(iv) Situational approachThese are identified with,

1Administrative behaviour
2Organisational behaviour
3Leadership index
4Administrative approaches

8.

If a leader is seen to possess certain traitshis leadership index can be read off aleadership meterThis statement relates to

1The administrative approach
2Attitude approach
3Trait approach
4Criterion approach

9.

Three necessary and sufficient conditionsthat must be satisfied if traits should beunique determinants of the Leadershipindex are(i) The trait quality should follow adescending order as one traverses fromthe highest to the lowest levels.(ii) There must be a high correlationbetween the level of traits and the levelof success(iii) The achievement trait curve should beconvex to the trait axis as one travelsfrom, the low to the high trait terminals.The above conditions have been suggestedby

1F.W. Taylor
2Elton Mayo
3Edwin E. Ghiselli
4Dorwin Cartwright

10.

Michigan Leadership studies are based onthe following approach to the study ofleadership

1Trait approach
2Attitude criterion
3Behaviour approach
4Situational approach

11.

Michigan leadership studies defined twovariables. These were(i) Employee orientation(ii) Employment orientation(iii) Input orientation(iv) Production orientation

1(i) + (ii)
2(ii) + (iv)
3(i) + (iv)
4(i) + (iii)

12.

McGregor?s Theory X approximates to

1Employee orientation
2Employment orientation
3Production orientation
4Input orientation

13.

Theory ?Y? approximates to

1Employee orientation
2Employment orientation
3Production orientation
4Input orientation

14.

Dorwin Cartwright and Alvin Zanderidentified the following two variables(i) Employee-oriented(ii) Production-oriented(iii) Goal-oriented(iv) Group-orientedThe correct code is

1(i) +(ii)
2(ii)+(iii)
3(iii)+(iv)
4(i)+(iv)

15.

2Theory Y

4None of the above

16.

The democratic leadership style goes with

1Theory X
2Theory Y
