b. Creativity, a staid atmosphere, a weak team spirit, and motivation of its workers.
c. Creativity, a problem-solving atmosphere, a strong team spirit, and motivation for its workers.
d. A bureaucratic atmosphere, a strong team spirit, and motivation for its workers.

Differences in ideas, perceptions, and approaches, when managed well, can lead to creative solu-tions and deepened human relationships.
