Bunuel
A. Indicates an advantage (improved communication), but remains silent on the issue of creativity.
B. Explains one reason businesses may opt for using cross-departmental teams, but does not establish whether these teams increase creativity.
C. Discusses experience vs. team structure but does not investigate whether exposure to various departmental concepts is significant.
D. That is true. If there is no innovation from giving single-departmental teams access to ideas and techniques from other departments, the concept that cross-department knowledge-sharing generates innovation is weakened.
E. In fact, it strengthens the hypothesis that exposure to different departments can foster innovation.
IMO the correct answer is Option D

A. Incorrect. Interdepartmental communication is OOS.
B. Incorrect. This comparison is irrelevant.
C. Incorrect. This weakens the argument.
D. Incorrect. This comparison is irrelevant.
E. Correct. This gives an additional evidence that team members who have worked in other departments tend to be more innovative than team members who have worked in only one department. This strengthens the link between interdepartmental experience and innovation.

As the consultant believes that cross functional project teams are more innovative because -
1 - They have experience of working with a broader range of tools and mental models
2 - They are exposed and aware tro more problem solving techniques in general for the use cases they have faced in their respective disciplines
3 - They get to observe and learn a lot more from their partners, hence better using their cognitive skills and learning growth.
Hence based on the above facts we need to assess an option that either strengthens these pointers or adds additional value to the pointers above, in eventually being more innovative.
A - Talks about communication, but not addresses how cross functional teams are helping in innovation
B - Talks about the likelihood of success of firms using rapid tech change on adaptation of this change, but not how this change impacts the outcome ( innovative approach )
C - Weakener
D - Indirect weakener
E - Only option that clearly connects that teams having people from different teams are significantly more innovative than one dept teams. CORRECT
Ans - E

the author's argument i think here is that -----> the cross-functional teams are more innovative than single-depart teams b/c of exposure to first-hand mental models & problem solving heuristics being put into practice, which they actively see and engage with. i think the assumption is that mere presence of these mental models is not enough for cross-func teams being more innovative.
A) gives a separate benefit of cross -func teams which is higher communication. this is not relevant to this argument of benefit being higher innovation.
B) who is more likely to use cross-func teams has no relevance to the core argument of more innovation.
C) it weakens the argument b/c if we hold work exp & educ constant, then cross-func teams being same/or poor in innovation to same depart teams weakens the conclusion that active exposure to mental models & heuristics from other departs present in cross-func teams leads to more innovation in those teams.
D) single-depart teams being given briefings , which is passive & opposite of active involvement in problem solving heuristics & mental models, being no more innovative leads to believe that first-hand exposure & active involvement is key element of the higher innovation and not just mere presence of the mental models and problem solving heuristics. correct
E) gives alternate cause or reason in my opinion that the experience gained by working in multiple departs have led to higher innovation than exposure & active involvement to mental models & problem solving heuristics. if it mentioned that those who have worked in multiple departs previously have gained first-hand exposure to these these techniques is the reason that when they are put into teams, those teams are more innovative. then i would classify this as strengthener.
