Earlene Gibson, the HR manager of BioMd, is planning to implement a socialization program in the organization. She designs a program in which each stage of socialization is an "elimination tournament," and a new hire is out of the organization if he or she fails. Earlene submits the program draft to the CEO for approval. Which of the following, if true, would be the strongest counterargument for the implementation of this plan?A) BioMd has a strong R&D orientation and innovation and risk taking are the major values that the company promotes.B) The management is intending to develop a homogeneous workforce that is highly cohesive and goal oriented.C) One of the goals of the socialization program is to exercise more discipline and control in the organization.D) The company is characterized by a vertical organizational structure and centralized decision making.
Answer: Option D - The company is characterized by a vertical organizational structure and centralized decision making.
Explanation: Since the company is a vertical organization structure and centralized decision making, the decision making would be slow resulting in delays. The concept of such a contest would only be effective in a decentralized system of operations. The contest can be implemented in a decentralised firm but the Option D, if true will not help the program to get implemented.
