Answer to #3

The five principal ways in which a CEO can influence organizational effectiveness and decision-making are:
1. The CEO is responsible for setting the organization's goals and designing its structure.
2. The CEO selects key executives to occupy the topmost levels of the managerial hierarchy.
3. The CEO determines top management's rewards and incentives.
4. The CEO controls the allocation of scarce resources such as money and decision-making
power among the organization's functional areas or business divisions.
5. The CEO's actions and reputation have a major impact on inside and outside stakeholders' views of the organization and affect the organization's ability to attract resources from its environment.

Answer to #4

A

Answer to #5

TRUE

Answer to #6

There are two kinds of directors: inside directors and outside directors. Inside directors are directors who also hold offices in a company's formal hierarchy; they are full-time employees of the corporation. Outside directors are not employees of the company; many are professional directors who hold positions on the board of many companies, or they are executives of other companies who sit on other companies' boards. The goal of having outside directors is to bring objectivity to a company's decision-making and to balance the power of inside directors, who obviously side with an organization's management. In practice, however, inside directors tend to dominate boards because these people have access to the most information about the company, and they can use that information to influence decision-making in management's favor.
