Answer to Question 1

A product layout is organized so that each function is performed in a fixed sequence. In a process layout, each workstation is relatively self-contained. The product moves to the workstation needed to perform the next operation, which may not be in sequence. In a fixed-position layout, remote workstations assemble the product's components, which then are brought to the production area for final assembly.

Answer to Question 2

Functional conflict stimulates team and organizational performance. Creativity is stimulated, poor solutions are avoided, and team members are energized. Dysfunctional conflict has a negative effect on team and organizational performance.
