Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: C) The wheel relies on a central figure to act as the conduit for all the group's communication; it simulates the communication network you would find on a team with a strong leader.

Answer to Question 2

Intragroup conflict is conflict within a group or work team, whereas intergroup conflict is conflict between groups or teams. Intragroup conflict is the focus of much of the research on conflict in the workplace and the groups and teams that exist to perform a particular task. In this type of group it is important that a supportive climate exists if conflict is to have a positive influence. Within an NFL team, for example, team members may be motivated to improve when team members are supportive. The intergroup conflict that exists between members of one team and those of another is a very different type of conflict, however, and one that may have little bearing on conflict within a group.
