Agata is a small, young computer company that has worked creatively and largely adhocraticly since its inception. However, both the number of employees and increased sales have grown. It has found itself in its first 'crisis' characterized by messy and inefficient operations.

A) The crisis is an autonomy crisis and one should decentralize the organization.
B) The crisis is transitory, and you should sit still in the boat, so it dissolves by itself.
C) The crisis is about red-tape bureaucracy and is solved through more cooperation and through spontaneous and action-oriented leadership, team organization and using modern information systems.
D) The crisis is a lack of leadership, and so a strong manager with business knowledge and skills who can be accepted by the founders should be recruited.
