Hey Tutors is there a chance of helping to answer these two questions.

The question need to be in detailed and must includes references and theories.

Question 1:

Ancient Book Company has a problem with its new book projects. Even when others are aware that a book is far behind schedule and may engender little public interest, sponsoring editors are reluctant to terminate contracts with authors whom they have signed. The result is that editors invest more time on these projects than on more fruitful enterprises.

Discuss 'escalation of commitment' relating to this short scenario. Describe the main influences on decision makers and why they might continue to support a failing project. Discuss how decision makers might minimise escalation of commitment in this scenario. Chapter 7

Question 2:

You are part of a project team that was formed two years ago. Membership has been stable up until last month, when one of the team members was promoted. Her replacement joins your team today.

Using theory discussed in lectures and what you know about group processes, explain what challenges the new member AND the team might encounter? Explain how you would ensure that the transition is made smoothly. Chapter 8
