As businesses become more team oriented and management more participatory, meetings—whether face-to-face or virtual—are increasingly important for solving problems, sharing information, and seeking consensus.
Read the following scenario, and then answer the questions that follow.
A construction supply company is adopting a just-in-time inventory system.

He knows that his employees will be more comfortable with this change if their supervisors understand it fully. Mitch calls a management meeting.
What purpose will this meeting serve?
a.Information review and presentation
b.Motivation
c.Problem identification
