B.Scientific management of factory work methods only
C.The Hawthorne experiments in industrial psychology
D.The POSDCORB acronym for executive functions

B.Expansion of government roles, complexity of modern states, and need for efficient public services

A.Rejecting all performance measurement in government
B.Market-oriented reforms: efficiency, results, customer focus, and managerial techniques borrowed from the private sector
C.Eliminating budgets and accounting systems
