Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The merging of two companies and reorganization of manufacturing locations is a large-scale change that affects the entire organization. Applying an organizational perspective would allow for a comprehensive analysis of the impact on the structure, systems, culture, and strategy of the new merged organization. An individual or group perspective focuses on smaller-scale issues and may not be appropriate for such a significant change. The interactional perspective would be useful for analyzing communication and relationships between individuals or groups, but may not be sufficient in analyzing the broader organizational impact. The environmental perspective would be focused on external factors such as the industry or market, which is not the primary concern in this scenario.
