A project team is having difficulty communicating over long distances. There were 13 team members from 2 countries, and then 5 people from India were added. This is of concern to the project manager because?
a) Communications channels grow rapidly
b) It will be harder to use reward power
c) Communication blockers grow linearly
d) Conflicts can be increased with the increase in project priorities.
Having more resources does not generally make it HARDER to use reward power (choice B). Choice C is an incorrect statement. Choice D does not make sense, so it cannot be the correct answer. This leaves only choice A.
