答案:
第一题:A
Rationale:The role culture is a bureaucratic or mechanistic culture,as described in the scenario.Task culture is project-focused;existential culture is person-focused;and power culture is leader focused.
Pitfalls:If you didn't know Harrison's model well,you might have confused'focus on the task'(see in the scenario)with a task culture,or the strong central leadership with a'power'culture.
第一题:D
Rationale:This is a problem with strong cultures(and ultra-cohesive groups).Pitfalls:The other statements are plausible:you need to come up with counter-arguments to show that they are not always true.B is most plausible because it makes a limited claim that values'can'replace rules:think of health and safety or financial controls,however,to disprove
the claim.Ways in:You could rule out two of the statements because they are dogmatic(so that just one counter-example would make them untrue).
