Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The four types of teams are self-managed teams, project teams, parallel teams, and virtual teams. Self-managed teams are responsible for producing an entire product, component, or service. These teams are formalized as part of the organization structure. SMTs have authority to make many decisions traditionally reserved for supervisors. A project team works on a specific project that has a beginning and an end. Team members work full-time until the project is complete and then disband to work on other projects. It is composed of members from different functions. Parallel teams are sometimes called problem-solving or special purpose teams. They focus on a problem or issue that requires only part-time commitment from team members. Virtual teams use interactive computer technologies such as the internet, groupware, and computer-based videoconferencing to work together regardless of distance.
