Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: In evaluating new technologies, Michelle must break down and sort out a great deal of complex information and come to some conclusion about how some of it might be applied to her own situation. This is clearly an example of conceptual skillanalyzing a complex situation. The task does not require Michelle to communicate her conclusions at this point or use them in a social or political context. So the clear choice here is that Michelle is using conceptual skill.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: The controlling function is largely a process of monitoring and evaluation. Subordinates are observed to see if they are working efficiently. Programs are evaluated to make sure they are progressing toward organizational goals. Deciding who reports to whom is not a part of this function.
