Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: Autonomy falls into the category of organizing while empowerment is a controlling decision. Leadership style is categorized in the leading function. That leaves risk, which is a part of the planning function of a manager as the correct response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A ready-aim-fire culture emphasizes slow, deliberate action and careful consideration before taking action. Therefore, a ready-aim-fire culture is best suited to a stable, conservative business in which things don't change very much, such as a candy bar business. Cell phone, pharmaceutical, and camera companies are all in industries that are too fast paced for a ready-aim-fire culture to be successful.
