Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: According to Exhibit 1-6, as managers move up in the organization, they do more planning and less direct overseeing of others.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: Mintzberg sees entrepreneur, disturbance handler, and resource allocator as decisional roles. The entrepreneur must decide which opportunity to select. A disturbance handler must stand in judgment of individuals in a conflict. A resource allocator must decide how to divide resources. Mintzberg sees a spokesperson having a primary function of communicating what has already been decided.
