Scenario: Telecommco
The chief executive of Telecommco, a large telecommunications company, wanted to restructure the organization so product leaders would have more power than the executives in charge of each region. The regional executives tried to prevent this restructuring because it would weaken their power and possibly reduce their salaries in the long term. The product leaders also put up some resistance because they felt that things worked the way they were.
This action by the regional executives is mainly an example of resistance due to:
A) saving face.
B) fear of the unknown.
C) direct costs.
D) breaking routines.
E) incongruent organizational systems.
