Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Task forces and teams encourage mutual adjustment, which refers to the process of coordinating and integrating the activities of team members in order to achieve common goals. This is different from standardization, which involves the use of formal rules and procedures to ensure consistency and predictability. Task forces and teams may also lead to some level of horizontal differentiation (i.e. specialization among team members), but not necessarily vertical differentiation (i.e. hierarchical structure). Therefore, the best choice is A.
