Hypothesis Statement:

After doing research we are hypothesizing that Enterprise Rent$-$A$-$Car primarily utilizes a behavioral management approach, following Theory $Y$ principles in its management and organizational decisions, emphasizing a people$-$centric culture. However, certain operations, especially within branch operations, demonstrate elements of Classical Management practices, indicating a blend of management styles to accommodate the mixed business needs and external factors. Recent changes at the branch level have created a culture that leans towards Classical Management style versus the Behavioral Management style or valuing the Theory Y style management that they had historically built their company management operations on$.$
