    Which of these is not a type of group in an organization?

    • Cross-functional

    • Functional

    • Informal or Interest

    • Task

    Correct Answer
    A. Cross-functional
    Explanation
    Cross-functional is not a type of group in an organization because it refers to a team that consists of individuals from different functional areas or departments within the organization. These individuals come together to work on a specific project or task that requires input and expertise from multiple areas. In contrast, functional groups are formed based on the different functions or departments within the organization, informal or interest groups are formed based on shared interests or hobbies, and task groups are formed to accomplish a specific task or objective.

    __________is a group created by the organization to accomplish a relatively narrow range of purposes within a stated time horizon.

    • Functional group

    Correct Answer
    A. Task group
    Explanation
    A task group is a specific group created by an organization to achieve a set of objectives within a defined timeframe. Unlike functional groups, which are permanent and focus on ongoing activities, task groups are formed for a specific purpose and have a limited duration. Informal/Interest groups, on the other hand, are not created by the organization and are usually formed by individuals with common interests. Therefore, a task group is the correct answer as it aligns with the given definition.
