From the Paper:

"Currently the company has a seven member executive team. The management recognizes that to succeed in the industry they must continue to develop and assemble quality products for distribution to industry giants such as Compaq, Apple, Hewlett-Packard and Dell. They also recognize that there is room for improvement within the organization, but do not recognize that behavioral change will be necessary to realize success. Most of the management agrees that the complaints of the employees can be minimized, based on case study observations. There exists a state of resistance to change among members of management, which is very commonplace among industries that have been operating under a hierarchical fashion for several years."
