Match List I (Theory) with List II (Thinker) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Theory-Z | (1) Rensis Likert |
| (b) Linking Pin Model | (2) Dwight Waldo |
| (c) Bounded Rationality | (3) Herbert Simon |
| (d) Modern Organisation Theory | (4) William G. Ouchi |
Answer: B
The correct matching is (a)-(4), (b)-(1), (c)-(3), (d)-(2).
Theory Z is William Ouchi's (1981), drawn from Japanese management practice. The linking-pin model is Rensis Likert's, in which each manager links his own group to the one above. Bounded rationality is Herbert Simon's account of decision-making under limits of information and time. That leaves modern organisation theory with Dwight Waldo, who wrote widely on the state of organisation theory.
Only this code gives Ouchi, Likert and Simon their own concepts. The others pair Theory Z with Waldo or Simon, or bounded rationality with Likert or Waldo.
