Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emergence of an oligarchy is likely within a bureaucracy due to the leaders having access to exclusive information, which can lead to the concentration of power among a few individuals or a group. Trained incapacity refers to the inability of an organization to adapt to changes or new situations due to their overly rigid and ingrained ways of thinking and operating. Goal displacement is a phenomenon where an organization shifts its focus from its original goals to other objectives that may not align with the original mission. While bureaucracy may be a structure within an organization, it is not directly related to the emergence of leaders having exclusive information.
