Question

why would the owner of a business assign teams to perform several specific tasks in that business?
to increase the profit margins of his or her business by twenty percent
to increase productivity through efficiency of labor
to create higher wages and salaries for workers
to improve the working conditions of his or her employees and meet osha requirements

Explanation:

• The first option (increasing profit margins by 20%) is too specific and not a direct result of team task assignment.
• Assigning teams to specific tasks is a form of division of labor, which aims to increase efficiency (so productivity) by having workers focus on specialized tasks.
• Higher wages are not directly caused by task - team assignment; it's more about compensation strategies.
• Improving working conditions and meeting OSHA is about workplace safety, not task - team assignment.

Answer:

B. To increase productivity through efficiency of labor
