Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corporate transformation refers to a complete overhaul of an organization's structures, systems, procedures, mission, values, and power distribution. It involves strategic change throughout the organization, which sets it apart from refinements at the department or division level (Option B) or modifications that are not radical enough to be considered strategic (Option C). Restructuring of departments and divisions may be potentially radical, but it is not transformational as it does not involve a complete overhaul of the organization as a whole (Option D).
