Contingency approaches to management contend that ________
A) situations determine managerial approach
B) all organizations should be managed in the same way
C) managers determine managerial approach
D) no two organizations should be managed the same way
Answer: A
Explanation: The key to contingency approaches is that situations, and not managers, determine the approach that managers should use, making "situations" the correct response. Since situations vary in different organizations, different approaches will be used, eliminating all organizations being managed in the same way as a correct response. No two organizations being managed in the same way is wrong because it contends that all organizations should be managed differently. If two different organizations happen to have the same situation, they should both be managed in the same way.
