The strategic contingencies model suggests Select one:

a. the more difficult it is find a substitute, the less power held by the person with the substitute.

b. the more unique your resource, the more power you will have.

c. the more vital the resources you control, the less power you hold.

d. the more dependent an individual is on another, the less power the one being depended on has in the situation.

Answer 1

The correct option is b. the more unique your resource, the more power you will have.

Step-by-step explanation:

A contingency can be described as the effect of activities of one sub-unit on another sub-unit. The more the contingencies of a certain sub-unit, the more will be the power of that sub-unit. For example, an engineering sub-unit will have power because it has unique skills of repairing breakdowns and hence its activities effect the other sub-units. The more the resources a sub-unit will have the more will be the power of the sub-unit.
