Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Managers charged with building teams from different cultures should assess the nature of the task to be performed and then match the composition of the team to the type of task. Cultural factors may also play a role in team dynamics. For example, in an individualistic culture, establishing shared norms and cohesiveness may be somewhat difficult, while in a collectivistic culture, team cohesiveness may emerge naturally. In a power-respecting culture, team members should probably be from the same level of the organization, since members from lower levels may be intimidated and subservient to those from higher levels. In a power-tolerant culture, variation in organizational level may be less of a problem.
