A. Strategic decision making
B. Collective Bargaining and Personnel Policy making
C. Workplace, individual and organisational relationships
D. The Network or Web of rules
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
In their seminal work *The Transformation of American Industrial Relations* (1986), Thomas A. Kochan, Harry C. Katz, and Robert B. McKersie proposed a three-tier institutional structure of industrial relations activities: (1) a top tier of Strategic decision-making (A); (2) a middle/functional tier of Collective Bargaining and Personnel Policy-making (B); and (3) a bottom/workplace tier governing Workplace, individual, and organisational relationships (C). 'The Network or Web of rules' (D) belongs to John T. Dunlop's Systems Theory (1958). Thus, 'A, B, C only' is correct.
