Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: The CEO of Cisco Systems likes to hear the emotion and frustration in a customer's voice when lodging a complaint. That is why he listens to voice mails to get insight into how the company is performing. Reading emails, he claims, does not provide the depth of feeling that voice mails provide. Arguing might be something that the CEO is tempted to do but hasn't reported doing so far.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D
Explanation: Managers are beginning to see the importance of customer satisfaction as a measure of organizational success. Rather than simply look at short-term profit, managers increasingly are focusing on the long-term goal of building a base of satisfied customers who will remain loyal. Accordingly, rather than de-emphasizing the customer, seeing the customer as an enemy, or partnering, managers are increasingly viewing customers as a database that provides meaningful feedback on the true value of their product.
