Answer:

Intragroup.

Explanation:

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.

A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.

These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.

In this scenario, two managers in the same department of a company disagree on whether to outsource the development of a new product or staff it internally. Thus, this is an example of intragroup conflict because its happening within the same department of an organization having common goals and interests.

An intragroup conflict can be defined as a type of conflict that arises between individuals belonging to the same team or group.

Sales revenue= 5.5*2,200= $12,100

From a strategic marketing viewpoint, a total product offer includes all of the tangible attributes of a good or service, and ex
Tasya [4]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

<em>Total Product offer </em>is every aspect of a product which the customer evaluates before buying.

From strategic marketing viewpoint, the customer may evaluate the product on both the tangible and intangible attributes.

An example of this is the iPhone by Apple. On tangible level, the product itself, the packaging and others are tangible attributes that a customer may evaluate. On intangible level, the brand name, perceived benefits, convenience, purchase services, and many other factors are part of the iPhone as the intangible attributes that the customer will evaluate.

As a marketer, one should think and talk in the language of customers- let it be from either tangible or intangible point of view.

Suppose the demand function (D) for golf clubs is: Q = 240-1.00P, where P is the price paid by consumers in dollars per club and
bogdanovich [222]

Solution :

According to the theory of demand and supply, the equilibrium price and the quantity is established where both the demand and supply curves intersect.

From the graph, we can see that the point of equilibrium is at the intersection of D and S.

At this point, mathematically, D = S. In order to determine the price and quantity which exists at this point, we need to equate the demand as well as supply functions to calculate the equilibrium values.

∵ D is equal to S, we have

$240-1.00P=1.00P$

240=2P

120=P

Now substituting this value of the equilibrium price in to any of the functions, we get the equilibrium quantity at this price.

$Q=240-1.00P$

$Q=240-1.00(120)$

$Q=240-120$

$Q=120$

This is the equilibrium quantity. At this point, equilibrium price as well as the quantity is the same. Let the price of the golf club increases from $120 to $140. So substituting the value to the function above to determine the new quantity.

$Q = 240-1.00(140)$

   = 100

Therefore, when the demanded quantity decreases from 120 thousand clubs to 100 thousand clubs. This increases the price and decreases the quantity as the supply curve moved to the left. The demand remains constant.
