Question

camille, an electronics engineer, is a member of a new product development team with members of mechanical engineering, quality assurance, manufacturing, marketing, and accounting. on what type of team does camille work?

a. a strength - based team
b. a cross - functional team
c. a static team
d. a telecommuting team
e. a virtual team

Explanation:

A cross - functional team consists of members from different functional areas (like engineering, quality assurance, marketing, accounting here) working together towards a common goal (new product development in this case). A strength - based team focuses on members' strengths, a static team has unchanging membership/roles, a telecommuting team works remotely, and a virtual team is geographically dispersed and uses technology to collaborate. Since Camille's team has members from different departments/functional areas, it's a cross - functional team.

Answer:

B. A cross - functional team
