Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: During the cognition and personalization stage, the parties decide what the conflict is about. The definition of a conflict is important because it typically delineates the set of possible settlements.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: D) Today's trend toward decentralized organizations makes establishing a strong culture more difficult. In virtual organizations, the lack of frequent face-to-face contact makes establishing a common set of norms very difficult. When formal authority and control systems are reduced, culture's shared meaning points everyone in the same direction. However, employees organized in teams may show greater allegiance to their team and its values than to the values of the organization as a whole. Culture enhances the stability of the social system and acts as a control mechanism that guides and shapes employees' attitudes and behavior.
