The Acme Corporation has found that improvements in its information technology infrastructure allow its employees to make more decisions that are both sound and well-informed than was previously feasible. Consequently, the corporation plans to improve employee productivity by introducing new managerial techniques that delegate much of the decision-making to lower levels of the organizational hierarchy. Managers will simply set clear standards and guidelines and then allow employee teams to undertake tasks without centralized control.
Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support a prediction that the Acme Corporation's plan will achieve its goal?
The corporation will be able to cut its managerial staff only if the managers' sole function is to set clear standards and guidelines for employees.
After Acme's information technology infrastructure was improved, very few of Acme's managers continued to believe that only managers should make most decisions.
Most of the tasks currently performed by the corporation's employees require few if any significant decisions to be made.
When employees can make decisions themselves, rather than submitting the same matters for decision to managers, there is more time available for directly productive activities.
Some other companies that have better employee productivity than does the Acme Corporation also plan to use the new managerial techniques.
