Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Faster decision making.
Self-organizing teams make faster decisions (A) because they are empowered to act without waiting for management approval. They also reduce overhead of management (E) because less direct supervision is needed. Option B (higher creativity) may occur but is not a primary benefit; C (consistent processes) is not a benefit as self-organization may lead to variability; D (better adherence to fixed plan) contradicts the adaptive nature of self-organization. Therefore, the correct answers are A and E.
