Direction (Q. No- 97 - 100) : In these

questions, A passage is given with 4 question

following it. Read the passage carefully and

choose the best answer to each question out of

the four alternatives. Organizations are institutions in which

members compete for status and power. They

compete for resource of the organization, for

example finance to expand their own

departments, for career advancement and for

power to control the activities of others. In

pursuit of these aims, grouped are formed and

sectional interests emerge. As a result, policy

decisions may serve the ends of political and

career systems rather than those of the concern.

In this way, the goals of the organization may be

displaced in favour of sectional interests and

individual ambition. These preoccupations

sometimes prevent the emergence of organic

systems. Many of the electronic firms in the

study had recently created research and

development departments employing highly

qualified and well paid scientists and

technicians. Their high pay and expert

knowledge were sometimes seen as a threat to

the established order of rank, power and

privilege. Many senior managers had little

knowledge of technicality and possibilities of

new developments and electronics.

97. Some felt that close cooperation with the

experts in an organic system would reveal

their ignorance and show their experience

was now redundant.

The theme of the passage is

(A) Emergence of sectional interests in

organizations

(B) Groupism in organizations

(C) Individual ambitions in organizations
