organizations are changing benefits and aspects of the work environment in order to attract, motivate, and retain diverse employees. this is which type of external force?
social and political pressures
demographic characteristics
managerial behavior
technological advancements
market changes

Explanation:

First Question (Top Question)

To determine the type of change, we analyze the options:

• "product" is about goods, not relevant.
• "radically innovative" implies a very drastic, new - from - scratch change. Shifting from professors grading to students self - grading is a major, fundamental shift in the grading process, so this fits.
• "innovative" is a bit less intense than "radically innovative" for such a big change.
• "process" is a general term, not descriptive enough.
• "adaptive" is about adjusting to existing conditions, not a new, radical approach.

We analyze the options for external forces affecting organizations:

• "social and political pressures" involve things like laws, social movements, not directly about employee diversity.
• "demographic characteristics" relate to the composition of the workforce (like age, gender, ethnicity). Changing work environment to attract diverse employees is a response to demographic characteristics (the diverse workforce makeup).
• "managerial behavior" is internal, not an external force.
• "technological advancements" are about new tech, not related to employee diversity.
• "market changes" are about customer demand, competition, etc., not employee diversity.

Answer:

B. radically innovative
