A pharmaceutical company manager attending a meeting of academic scientists would be functioning in which role?

A) informational
B) figurehead
C) liaison
D) decisional

Answer: C
Explanation: A liaison functions as a link from one organization to another. In this case, the manager would be linking her for-profit organization to an organization that might provide it with valuable expertise or information. The other choices here are all somewhat valid as the manager would need to procure information, represent her company, and make decisions. However, the liaison role is a much better fit for this situation.
