Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which management style fits well with an organization that is highly decentralized with relatively few levels of management?

    • A.

      A. autocratic

    • B.

      B. bureaucratic

    • C.

      C. democratic

    • D.

      D. theocratic

    Correct Answer
    C. C. democratic
    Explanation
    A highly decentralized organization with relatively few levels of management is best suited for a democratic management style. In this style, decision-making is shared among employees and there is a focus on collaboration and participation. This allows for greater autonomy and empowerment among employees, which aligns well with a decentralized structure. Autocratic management style, where decision-making is centralized and top-down, would not be suitable in this case. Bureaucratic and theocratic management styles are also not appropriate as they involve rigid rules and regulations or religious authority, which may not be conducive to a decentralized organization.

  • 2. 

    If a company’s organizational structure is flat, then the company:

    • A.

      A. is highly centralized.

    • B.

      B. will have problems responding appropriately in a fast-changing environment.

    • C.

      C. is highly decentralized.

    • D.

      D. none of the above.

    Correct Answer
    D. D. none of the above.
    Explanation
    A flat organizational structure refers to a structure with few hierarchical levels and a wide span of control. It is characterized by a decentralized decision-making process and a more collaborative and flexible approach. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that a flat organizational structure is highly centralized. Additionally, while it is true that a flat structure may face challenges in responding quickly to a fast-changing environment, it is not accurate to say that it will have problems responding appropriately. Hence, the correct answer is "d. none of the above."

    Companies wishing to establish strong policies against sexual harassment should not:

    • A.

      A. issue a strong policy statement against sexual harassment.

    • B.

      B. gather facts, and avoid prejudging.

    • C.

      C. forbid the telling of any sexual-related jokes or stories.

    • D.

      D. take remedial action to correct past sexual harassment.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. forbid the telling of any sexual-related jokes or stories.
    Explanation
    Establishing strong policies against sexual harassment is important in creating a safe and respectful work environment. However, forbidding the telling of any sexual-related jokes or stories may not be the most effective approach. While it is important to discourage and address inappropriate behavior, completely banning all sexual-related jokes or stories can be seen as overly restrictive and may hinder open communication and camaraderie among employees. It is more effective to educate employees about what constitutes inappropriate behavior and provide guidelines for maintaining a respectful workplace, rather than imposing a blanket ban on all sexual-related jokes or stories.

    Assuming that the other person has little information to offer and dominating a conversation is called:

    • A.

      A. defensiveness.

    • B.

      B. arrogance.

    • C.

      C. status.

    • D.

      D. hidden agendas.

    B. B. arrogance.
    Explanation
    Dominating a conversation and assuming that the other person has little information to offer is considered as arrogance. Arrogance is characterized by an excessive sense of self-importance and a disregard for others' opinions or input. In this scenario, the person is not open to hearing the other person's perspective and instead focuses on asserting their own ideas and opinions. This behavior can be seen as dismissive and disrespectful towards the other person, indicating a lack of humility and an inflated sense of superiority.

It helps to establish clear expectations and standards for communication, collaboration, and professionalism within the team.

    When team members begin sacrificing valuable differences of opinion for the sake of team unity, they are exhibiting a phenomenon called:

    • A.

      A. timiditis.

    • B.

      B. team conformity.

    • C.

      C. groupthink.

    • D.

      D. dittoism.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. groupthink.
    Explanation
    When team members prioritize maintaining harmony and consensus over expressing their individual opinions and ideas, it is known as groupthink. This phenomenon occurs when the desire for unanimity within the group overrides critical thinking and independent decision-making. In such situations, team members may suppress their own doubts and concerns to avoid conflict, which can lead to poor decision-making and a lack of creativity. Groupthink can hinder innovation and result in a narrow perspective, limiting the team's ability to consider alternative viewpoints and make well-informed choices.

Bringing extra resumes is essential in case the interviewer asks for additional copies or if there are multiple interviewers. Paper and pen are necessary for taking notes during the interview or jotting down any important information.

      A. during the early-morning hours.

    • D.

      D. anytime during the workday.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. in the middle of the workday.
    Explanation
    During the middle of the workday is the best time for salespeople to call clients or prospects because it is when they are most likely to be available and not busy with other tasks or meetings. Calling in the early-morning hours may catch people off guard or interrupt their morning routine. Calling during the late-afternoon hours may be less effective as people may be wrapping up their workday and less receptive to sales calls.

    The act of listening to a complaining guest at a food service operation is important because it allows the guest to express their frustration and vent their feelings. This can be beneficial for both the guest and the operation. By allowing the guest to vent, it helps them feel heard and understood, which can potentially diffuse their anger and frustration. It also gives the operation an opportunity to gather information about the events or circumstances that upset the guest, which can help them identify areas for improvement and make necessary changes to enhance the guest experience.

    Cara and Tina had several glasses of wine with their dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. They then went to a brewery down the street to have several beers before driving to a concert downtown.

    • D.

      D. none of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. C. joint and several liability laws

    Under joint and several liability laws, the driver of the other car could sue the hotel and its employees. Joint and several liability means that multiple parties can be held responsible for the same harm and can be sued for the full amount of damages. In this case, the hotel and its employees could be held liable for serving alcohol to Cara and Tina, knowing that they were going to drive afterwards, which contributed to the accident and resulting injuries.

It emphasizes the importance of using guest feedback as a tool for improvement and making necessary changes to enhance the guest experience.
