Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front authority
    Back Legitimate power, granted by the organization and acknowledged by employees, that allows an individual to request action and expect compliance.
  • Front autocratic leaders
    Back Directive leaders who prefer to make decisions and solve problems on their own with little input from subordinates
  • Front centralization
    Back The degree to which formal authority is concentrated in one area or level of an organization. Top management makes most of the decisions.
  • Front chain of command
    Back The line of authority that extends from one level of an organization’s hierarchy to the next, from top to bottom, and makes clear who reports to whom.
  • Front coercive power
    Back Power that is derived from an individual’s ability to threaten negative outcomes.

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 6, 7 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
