Answer to Question 1

Those who set goals are more likely to achieve them.

Answer to Question 2

There is a problem at the factory. The production figures are way down and employees are grumbling. You have been asked to attend a problem-solving meeting with the managers. Ellen thinks the best solution is to set clear production goals and carefully delegate tasks. Carlos thinks management should talk to employees to find out what is bothering them and then do team building with the key employees. Anna suggests that it's time to put their house in order by coming up with tighter procedures and information systems. Sung Wu is advocating an expansion program because he thinks the market is favorable and the challenge will pull everyone together.

Ellen = rational goal
Carlos = human relations
Anna = internal process
Sung Wu = open systems
