Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) Unified communication, which integrates voice and video calling/conferencing, instant messaging, and real-time collaboration software in a single system, can improve response times, productivity, and collaboration efforts.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Teams typically evolve through a number of phases on their way to becoming productive. One commonly used model identifies the phases a problem-solving team goes through as it evolves. The first one is orientation. Team members socialize, establish their roles, and begin to define their task or purpose. Team-building exercises and activities can help teams break down barriers and develop a sense of shared purpose. For geographically dispersed virtual teams, creating a team operating agreement that sets expectations for online meetings, communication processes, and decision-making can help overcome the disadvantages of distance. New teams can provide extraordinary results and reach a consensus if allowed to evolve.
