Answer 1

Answer:

letters b, c , d are correct. Freedom, Decentralization , Contact.

Explanation:

The alternatives that best suit the above question are: freedom, decentralization and contact. As the purpose of the new company is to be innovative and maximally creative, the option of hiring experts with experience in the area to solve problems is not appropriate, as there is already a way of thinking and acting on experienced professionals, and it is often difficult to break paradigms for carrying out the tasks of specialists, which hinders innovation and creativity in doing different things and allowing new ideas from other employees.

 From there comes freedom, which is an essential issue when it comes to creativity. The decentralized structure is the one that best suits the freedom of the employee to maximize his creativity and contribute with innovative solutions for the company, as this structure is more flexible than the centralized structure, with less management, employees feel more motivated to develop its capacities, more apt and valued to carry out its work according to its competence, becoming more productive and creative, which integrated to the external environment, helps the company to have a more innovative internal and external positioning.
