Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Explicit and implicit coercion may be necessary when changes need to be implemented immediately due to regulatory compliance. This strategy involves using rewards and punishments to ensure compliance with the new changes. However, it should only be used as a last resort as it can lead to resentment and further resistance in the long run. It is important for Laura to communicate the reasons behind the changes and provide support to employees during the transition to minimize any negative impact.
