Question

Multinational companies (MNCs) have found that cross-functional coordination results in people spending more time within their functions and thus becoming more knowledgeable regarding developments that are occurring in their specialized areas.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

Cross functional coordination in large corporations results in employees spending less time within their functions resulting in they being less knowledgeable about what happens in their areas.

Cross functional teams are made up of people that possess different functional expertise. They generally work together only for specific projects and then they return to their normal activities or are assigned to new projects. But while they are working in the cross functional teams they are generally absent from their normal activities.
