Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The vertical and horizontal flows of organizational communication can be combined into a variety of patterns called communication networks.
a. Chain network  Communication flows according to the formal chain of command, both downward and upward. If accuracy is important, the chain network works well.
b. Wheel network  Communication flows between a clearly identifiable and strong leader and others in a work group or team. The leader serves as a hub through which communication passes. If having a strong, identifiable leader is important to the organization or work unit, the wheel network is the best communication network. Accuracy is also very high with the wheel network.
c. All-channel network  Communication flows freely among all members of a work team. If high member satisfaction is a concern, the all-channel network is preferable.
