question 23 (2 points)
which stage in making organizational change includes benchmarking?

Explanation:

• Question 21: An inert culture is characterized by a hierarchical system with close supervision. Options about career paths, training, and supportive attitudes are more related to positive or adaptive cultures.
• Question 22: Adaptive work cultures often use cross - functional team structures as they are flexible and can respond to changes. Close supervision, not rewarding performance, and sticking to old methods are not typical of adaptive cultures.
• Question 23: Benchmarking is used to compare an organization's current state with others (or best practices) to assess the need for change. It is not mainly used in deciding, implementing, or evaluating change.

Answer:

• Question 21: closely supervises its employees within a hierarchical system.
• Question 22: Cross - functional team structures are often used.
• Question 23: assess the need for change.
