management/situation score is generally x-theory management, while the personal score generally prefers y-theory management. How would these scores impact or relate to the
duties of a logistics manager? To answer this question, it might first be helpful to define what, exactly, the duties of a

inputs into the system, and the output to wherever it needs to go (the market, a client, or somewhere else). For the first
survey, we have a logistics manager with a strong tendency toward x-theory management. This means somewhat authoritarian, with a fairly repressive style. Little development is involved with the scenario, with
the culture being more depressed and innovative. On the opposite end of the spectrum is the employee, who prefers a y-theory type of environment, which involves continuous improvement through enabling,
