Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: Resource allocation is typically the most important concern for a manager in a large organization. For example, goals and structural issues in a large car company are likely to be well worked out, causing the manager to focus on apportioning the organization's ample resources wisely with respect to commitments of time, funds, manpower, and creative energy. Creation of new business opportunities are much less likely to be needed in a large firm than in a small one as the large firm may have entire departments devoted to that task.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: Working well with other people both individually and in groups by communicating, motivating, mentoring, and delegating. Decisiveness is classified as another important managerial competency.
