Answer to Question 1

The informal communication network is the formal name for the grapevine. Information flows through random, nonofficial channels, such as when people are carpooling, making photocopies, taking breaks, and the like. Most of the information conveyed through the informal communication network is accurate, and information travels very quickly from one person to another, especially when major changes such as layoffs are taking place. Effective managers do not try to manipulate the grapevine. Instead, they try to act promptly to minimize the effects of negative information and to clarify misunderstandings or false rumors.

Answer to Question 2

False
