Answer to Question 1

E
Explanation: E) The organizational culture most likely to shape high ethical standards among its members is one that's high in risk tolerance, low to moderate in aggressiveness, and focused on means as well as outcomes. This type of culture also takes a long-term perspective and balances the rights of multiple stakeholders, including the communities in which the business operates, its employees, and its stockholders.

Answer to Question 2

A popular stereotype is that women are more cooperative and pleasant in negotiations than are men. The evidence doesn't support this belief. However, men have been found to negotiate better outcomes than women, although the difference is relatively small. It's been postulated that men and women place divergent values on outcomes. The belief that women are nicer than men in negotiations is probably due to a confusion between gender and the lower degree of power women typically hold in most large organizations. When women and men actually do conform to these stereotypeswomen act nice and men toughit becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, reinforcing the stereotypical gender differences between male and female negotiators.
