Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: D) In this situation, if the company keeps inventory levels low in order to reduce costs, then it directly conflicts with Matt's job of selling bicycles and ultimately results in late deliveries. This conflict is structural in nature. If the company uses enterprise solutions to manage inventory and if its sales and logistics functions are tightly integrated, then the problem of late deliveries should not arise. Similarly, if the firm's manufacturing facility is functioning at optimum capacity, then there should be an adequate of supply of bicycles. If the company's credit verification process is efficient, then it would not result in late deliveries.
