Answer to Problem 1CA

Solution:

Team-based organizations are preferred by most of the young employees who would like to take the responsibility and own decisions to achieve assigned tasks. To be effective, all team members should have the right skills and they should be fit to the team culture.

Explanation of Solution

Most of the young employees prefer to work in team-based organizations as there is no strict supervision.

Team-based organizational structures are less hierarchical and more flexible. Team players are responsible for their own work in achieving the final goal/ outcome. Normally young people like to take responsibility and make own decision and it is possible in team-based organizations. Due to the less hierarchy, decisions can be taken easily. Trust and effective communication among team members are really important to achieve the goals.

Team-based organizations generally focus on values and employees rather than the role of employees. So often there is a favorable situation for employees in team based organizations.

However, on the other hand, team−based organizations should be able to select employees with the right skills and right attitudes. If there are players who do not fill into the team culture, the team will not be able to achieve tasks and other team players will be dissatisfied.

As indicated in the attached image, U.S. earnings for high- and low-skill workers as measured by educational attainment began diverging in the 1980s. The remaining questions in this problem set use the model for the labor market developed in class to walk through potential explanations for this trend.  1. Assume that there are just two types of workers, low- and high-skill. As a result, there are two labor markets: supply and demand for low-skill workers and supply and demand for high-skill workers. Using two carefully drawn labor-market figures, show that an increase in the demand for high skill workers can explain an increase in the relative wage of high-skill workers.  2. Using the same assumptions as in the previous question, use two carefully drawn labor-market figures to show that an increase in the supply of low-skill workers can explain an increase in the relative wage of high-skill workers.
