Final answer:
The statement that organizations which successfully adopt many management changes have a smaller administrative ratio is false. Successful change management can require substantial administrative support, and bureaucratic efficiency and productivity may clash with the need for a nimble and flexible approach. Option b.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is false(b) that organizations that successfully adopt many management changes often have a smaller administrative ratio. In fact, successful management change may require a robust administrative support system to facilitate and support these changes. The administrative ratio is not necessarily an indicator of the willingness or ability of an organization to embrace change.
The intended positive aspects of bureaucracies such as increased productivity and increased efficiency can sometimes be overshadowed in today's fast-paced workplace by the need for flexibility and problem solving. Moreover, bureaucracies can perpetuate existing power structures, making them resistant to change. Therefore, the statement that a lower administrative ratio correlates with successful change adoption is not necessarily true; it depends on how well the bureaucracy is managed and whether it can adapt to new challenges while maintaining its intended benefits.
