This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Bob Garratt

Option 2 — Bob Garratt is correct.

Bob Garratt is a management thinker best known for his work on the ‘learning organisation’ and on how boards and managers can learn continuously to make better decisions. He advanced the Learning Model, an approach in which individuals and organisations treat decision-making as a cyclical learning process — acting, reviewing the results, drawing lessons and feeding them back to improve future decisions.

By linking decision-making to continuous learning and reflection, Garratt’s model strengthens the quality and adaptability of the decision process, especially at the director/board level.

Why the other options are wrong: Arthur Rich is associated with business/economic ethics; Christian Wolff was an 18th-century rationalist philosopher; Lord (J.M.) Keynes was an economist known for macroeconomic theory. None of them is credited with this managerial ‘Learning Model’ for decision-making.

Takeaway: Bob Garratt’s Learning Model ties better decisions to continuous organisational learning.
