List - IList - II
a. Sales Revenue Maximizationi. Williamson's Model
b. Maximization of a firm's growth rateii. Cyert-March Hypothesis
c. Maximization of Managerial Utility functioniii. Baumol's Theory
d. Satisficing behaviour modeliv. Marri's Theory

The correct answer is
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii

To solve this question, we must correctly match the items of List - I with those in List - II based on well-known economic theories and models.

  1. **Sales Revenue Maximization - Baumol's Theory:** Baumol's Theory focuses on maximizing sales revenue, given that managers prioritize sales over profits after reaching a satisfactory profit level. This leads to the match: a-iii.
  2. **Maximization of a Firm's Growth Rate - Marris's Theory:** Robin Marris proposed that firms aim to maximize their balanced growth rate, which includes maximizing demand for the firm’s products and supply of managerial resources, thereby matching b-iv.
  3. **Maximization of Managerial Utility Function - Williamson's Model:** Oliver E. Williamson's Model emphasizes that managers prioritize their utility over profit maximizing, including elements like additional expenses on staff perquisites or growth, linking to c-i.
  4. **Satisficing Behaviour Model - Cyert-March Hypothesis:** The Cyert-March Hypothesis suggests that firms aim to satisfy rather than maximize due to constraints like bounded rationality. Thus, the match is d-ii.

Given these matches, the correct answer from the options provided is:

a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii.
