Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) An elaborate set of performance-simulation tests specifically designed to evaluate a candidate's managerial potential is administered in assessment centers. Line executives, supervisors, and/or trained psychologists evaluate candidates as they go through one to several days of exercises that simulate real problems they would confront on the job.

Answer to Question 2

a) The chain rigidly follows the formal chain of command. This network approximates the communication channels you might find in a rigid three-level organization. The chain is best if accuracy is most important.
b) The wheel relies on a central figure to act as the conduit for all of the group's communication. It stimulates the communication network you would find on a team with a strong leader. The structure of the wheel facilitates the emergence of a leader.
c) The all-channel network is most often characterized in practice by self-managed teams, in which all group members are free to contribute and no one person takes on a leadership role. The all-channel network is best if you are concerned with having high member satisfaction.

No single network is best for all occasions.
