Question 2
Jason Jones has been asked to assemble an eight-member self-managed work team of experienced employees to work on a project that combines the functional areas of research, production, marketing, and distribution.
Jason is apprehensive about managing a team so large; he knows from prior experience that larger teams do not always result in greater productivity. Jason has also been informed by the management that this team is being established as the project must progress according to the predetermined timeline. The work lagging behind by one division will cause a cumulative delay in all the successive stages of the project's execution. Which of the following measures, if adopted by Jason, would best ensure that the team members are working efficiently?
A) implementing a training program to provide the team members with the necessary technical and human relations skills for the project
B) discouraging team members from restricting themselves to their own functional areas by experimenting with and learning the jobs done by other members of the team
C) instructing the team members to finalize the plan for the project right at the beginning and ensuring that it is implemented without any changes
D) assigning the specific tasks of the project to each team member by keeping in mind their preferences and abilities
E) implementing a group-based incentive he has planned for this team
