Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A baseball team culture is present in an organization facing a rapidly changing environment, with short product life cycles, high-risk decision making, and dependence on continuous innovation for survival. The employee who best fits this culture tends to be a risk taker, enjoys being a free agent, shows little commitment to one employer and thrives on time pressure and stress. The club culture seeks people who are loyal, committed to one organization, and need to fit into a group. People are rewarded with job security, promotion from within, and slow progress. Club cultures are present in companies such as UPS, government agencies, and the military. The academy culture seeks to hire people with specialties and technical mastery who will be confined to a set job within a particular function and be rewarded by long-term association and a slow, steady climb up the organization ladder. Organizations that fit this model include IBM, Coca-Cola, and Procter & Gamble. Fortress cultures are obsessed with surviving and reversing sagging fortunes. Fortress-type organizations attract confident individuals who enjoy the excitement, challenge, and opportunities of a turnaround.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
