Hester's manufacturing software company is doing better than it ever has and just a year ago it was floundering. Prior to a year ago, she'd been part of a team of manufacturing software experts working on customer problems. Progress was slow as projects moved through department after department. When a new owner purchased the company, the company was reorganized, and she now works on a team that is made up of software engineers, finance people, marketing, and customer relations. Productivity and reaction time to customer needs increased dramatically. What structure was Hester now a part of under the new ownership? a. Permanent teams b. Cross-functional teams c. Autocratic structures d. Centralized structures

b. Cross-functional teams

Explanation:

Option A is wrong because the team is not permanent. They have to change the team whenever it is needed.

Option C is incorrect because no one directs in that team to do anything.

Option D is also wrong because the team is not centralized at all. Many people from many departments are working together.

Option B is correct because the cross-functional team states that people from various departments work together to achieve the organizational objective.

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.
