    ACCA · Question 18 · Business & Technology

    Section A

    The manager of "Creative Spark", an advertising agency, is highly focused on ensuring all staff are happy, relaxed, and have a comfortable work environment. However, she rarely enforces deadlines, resulting in the agency frequently losing clients due to late project deliveries.

    Where would this manager be placed on Blake and Mouton's Managerial Grid?

    Answer options:

    A.

    1,1 (Impoverished Management)

    B.

    9,1 (Task Management)

    C.

    1,9 (Country Club Management)

    D.

    9,9 (Team Management)

    How to approach this question

    Assess the two dimensions: Concern for People is High (9). Concern for Production/Task is Low (1). This corresponds to 1,9.

    Full Answer

    C.1,9 (Country Club Management)✓ Correct
    In Blake and Mouton's grid, the x-axis is concern for production and the y-axis is concern for people. A 1,9 style (Country Club) prioritizes employee needs and a friendly atmosphere at the expense of achieving work goals.

    Common mistakes

    Reversing the axes and choosing 9,1.
