AContinuous system
BCooperative or Collaborative system ✓ Correct
CDisorganised system
DConstrained mechanism
Correct answer: (B) Cooperative or Collaborative system — System theory studies the organisation as a cooperative or collaborative system, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★System theory studies the organisation as a cooperative or collaborative system, so that is the answer.
★It views the organisation as a whole made of interrelated parts that depend on one another.
★These parts work together, exchanging energy and information, to achieve common goals.
★Drawing on open-systems thinking, it stresses the constant interaction between the organisation and its environment.
★David Easton applied systems analysis to politics, modelling inputs, a conversion process and outputs with feedback.
★A continuous system is wrong because the theory's stress is on interdependence and cooperation, not mere continuity.
★A disorganised system and a constrained mechanism are wrong because they contradict the orderly, goal-seeking and open nature of systems theory.
