The Weberian model of bureaucracy has been criticised from a variety of stand points.
Consider the following points in this regard:
1. The Weberian model appears to be a 'machine theory' and a closed system model taking little account of organisational interactions with the environment.
2. The structural features of bureaucracy as laid down by Weber might be suitable for routine and repetitive tasks but these would produce dysfunctional consequences in terms of human behaviour if the jobs would involve innovation and creativity.
3. Weberian model has not been found to respond adequately to the tasks of socioeconomic transformation in the developing countries. These tasks require quick changes whereas the capacity of the Weberian model for adaptation to change is rather slow.
4. Weber's model is confined to the study of formal bureaucratic structure and fails to take notice of the informal structure of bureauracy such as informal relations, informal norms and values, an informal power hierarchy and informal power struggles.
Which of the above points make a valid criticism of the Weberian model? Select the correct answer from below:
Which of the following statements are true?
Statement I Big data refers to no precise quantity, but generally refers to data in the range of Petabytes and Exabyte, i.e. billions to trillions of records, all from various sources. Big data is generated much faster. than traditional data in much larger quantities.
Statement II Big data interests industries because they are able to learn more patterns and curious variances than smaller data sets, with the capability to provide valuable insights into consumer behaviour, weather systems, financial market activity, or other phenomena.
Statement III Various departments and product lines use various applications within most organisations and store data in separate datasets. These separate databases may contain similar data, but data from one data base to another is not always consistent. This is called data silo.
________ job usually splits the input data-set into independent chunks which are processed by the map tasks in a completely parallel manner.

Examine the following statements about span of control and identify the ones which are true?
1. More task complexity requires narrower span of control.
2. Routine tasks can have greater span of control than exceptional tasks.
3. When tasks are dissimilar, then span of control can be larger.
4. Spans of control are generally narrower at the top and broader at the bottom of the hierarchy.
If, on an average, 'A' completes 40 tasks with a standard deviation of 5, 'B' completes 160 tasks with a standard deviation of 15 and 'C' completes 120 tasks with a standard deviation of 8, their order when arranged on the basis of consistency is
Suppose on performing reduced error pruning, we collapsed a node and observed an improvement in the prediction accuracy on the validation set. Which among the following statements are possible in light of the performance improvement observed? (a) The collapsed node helped overcome the effect of one or more noise affected data points in the training set (b) The validation set had one or more noise affected data points in the region corresponding to the collapsed node (c) The validation set did not have any data points along at least one of the collapsed branches (d) The validation set did have data points adversely affected by the collapsed node
