48. New
River Valley Community College would like to add an e-commerce program to their
curriculum, since the demand for graduates from these programs has increased
dramatically in recent years. The introduction of such a program would require
the hiring of a number of new faculty members. So far, the college has been
unable to develop the program. The change has been blocked because the
administrators cannot reallocate sufficient funds between departments in the
college's personnel budget to allow the hiring of the necessary faculty. These
funds have been committed for the long term since the majority of the faculty
at New River Valley Community College are tenured. This would most
appropriately be considered an example of ____ as a source of organizational
resistance to change.
a.

economic reasons

b.

organization culture
