Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vertical functional approach involves grouping jobs based on functions or departments with similar skills and work activities, making it the best choice for Brittany's department. The team-based approach involves grouping individuals into teams to complete tasks, not departments with similar skills and work activities. The horizontal matrix approach combines functional and divisional approaches, and the divisional approach groups jobs based on product or customer groups. The process approach groups jobs based on the specific processes involved in producing a product or service.
