QUESTION $7$

A student was asked to explain 'team awards' briefly. The given answer is:

One of the biggest questions managers ought to ask themselves is: Should teams be rewarded, or just the individuals, or perhaps both? The answer lies in whether the organisation wants to reward behaviour, results or performances The second question is: What amount of money, in the form of bonuses, should the individual or team achieve? The timing of awards is important as it assists employees in understanding the award system. Different team structures require different awards, and rewards ought to be linked with the work team's accomplishments.

What is wrong with the student's answer?

A Nothing is wrong $-$ team awards are discussed absolutely correctly.

B "Should teams be rewarded, or just the individuals, or perhaps both" is not the biggest question.

C The second question "What amount of money, in the form of bonuses, should the individual or team achieve?" is only one part of what managers may consider. Managers can consider both monetary and non$-$monetary rewards.

D Different team structures require similar award systems; and not different awards systems as per the answer.
