Multiple Choice

Strato Engineering (Scenario)
Recently Strato Engineering, a technology product company, began the use of a team (1) to develop the next generation of the company's model CVF- D. The team is composed of the product development manager, chief engineer, director of procurement, human resource director-technology, marketing research director, cost analysis director, operations director
-production, and the four highest- dollar project vendors. The preliminary projection for the lifetime of the team to prototype- production is expected to be 2 years due to the level of technology involved in the product. Another team (2) has also been established recently to solve a new problem with an adhesive used to attach a thin- foil material to a finished metal surface. There are three members in this team: installer, engineer, and sales representative for the adhesive manufacturer, and no one particular leader. It is anticipated that it will require about 2 days to solve the problem. Another team (3) has been working together for 4 years implementing modifications to the company's current model CVF- C. It is composed of members in the areas of: procurement, engineering, production, major vendors, and Strato Engineering customers' procurement agents. None of the members of this team are at the same location. They utilize a variety of graphic- electronic technologies to view the product onscreen in three- dimension at each location simultaneously. At the Denver facility, a team (4) has been formed to stamp a new part. It requires four members, and they rotate jobs every 2 hours. Before beginning the workday, they meet for about 10 minutes and discuss the work that needs to be completed that day. The team makes most of the
day- to- day decisions about their work responsibilities.
-Team 4 at the Denver facility is a _______team.

• A) problem- solving
• B) self- managed
• C) cross- functional
• D) virtual
