His long-term assignment to this team has produced several new products. Joe enjoys this work environment, in part because Freestone's management has given the team the freedom and flexibility to make decisions. A recent development is the inclusion of outsiders from Freestone's major distributors and suppliers on the team. It appears that Joe's team is a(n):
A. interfunctional matrix organization.
B. multidivisional group think-tank.
C. multi-modal product development team.
D. cross-functional self-managed team.

D. cross-functional self-managed team.

Explanation:

Joe's team is an example of a cross-functional, self-managed team.

A cross functional team brings together employees or specialists from different areas like engineering, marketing, procurement, finance, research, etc. to work together on a long-term basis in order to achieve a goal or success.

Also, when they can make decisions on their own after being empowered, they're now a self-managed team.
