Jayvon Molina · Answer 1

TRUE

Explanation:

Working together, both sides can share ideas and knowledge to generate an optimizing result. In the narrated case, Stan was already a company employee and Marcus is a trainee. Thus, Stan is expected to have accumulated knowledge about the characteristics of the type of project they are working on. Thus, it is natural and expected that Stan will transfer tactical knowledge to Marcus. However, this does not prevent Marcus from giving suggestions for improving plant processes. Thus, together they can produce a more efficient result for the factory.
