Which of the following is the best example of the contingency approach to management?
A) Rotec Inc. requires all employees to dress formally throughout the week, and allows business casuals on Fridays.
B) Sandman Designs allows employees who don't meet clients to dress casually, while employees who must meet clients are required to wear formals.
C) G&B Solutions developed a series of guidelines to let employees know what is considered appropriate and inappropriate office wear.
