Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: Environmental scanning is a part of the planning function of a manager. Handling employee disagreements is part of the leading function. Structuring evaluations is part of the controlling function. Assigning employees to work in teams or as individuals is part of the organizing function of a manager.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: A ready-fire-aim culture emphasizes fast action and quick decision. The idea is that in a fast-paced industry there is not enough time for a company to study the situation. Instead, managers must make their best guess and proceed with the best plan they can devise. For these reasons, a ready-fire-aim culture is best suited to a fast-paced industry such as the cell phone industry in which new innovations and game-changing improvements are routinely taking place.
