Question

All of the following statements about decision style are true EXCEPTA) autocratic styles are authority-based.B) decision styles are consistent among top managers.C) heuristic styles can also be democratic.D) decision styles may vary among lower-level managers.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. decision styles are consistent among top managers

Explanation:

Decision making styles differ between managers.  Many managers exercise autocratic style which is authoritative wherein very limited inputs from the subordinates are taken and there is little scope for constructive advises.

In heuristic style, the strategies help managers to take clear cut decisions in a prompt manner. In such a form, decisions are arrived at quickly.

Managerial decision making methods differ from manager to manager and are an outcome of managers own judgement and demeanor.

Hence it is evident from above points that decision styles are not consistent among top managers.
