The Industrial Revolution made ________ necessary for manufacturing organization's success for the first time in history
A) decentralization
B) customer satisfaction
C) product demand
D) management
Answer: D
Explanation: The large scale of Industrial Revolution factories suddenly brought management to the forefront for the success of a business, making management the correct response. Product demand and customer satisfaction were important factors both before and after the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution actually increased, rather than decreased, centralization in organizations, so "decentralization" is not a correct response.
