Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "coalitions" refers to a group of individuals who come together to support a common goal or interest. In this scenario, the three division heads who support Alex and the four division heads who support Pat can be considered coalitions because they are both groups of individuals supporting a common candidate for the CEO position. The other options are not applicable in this scenario. Organizational grapevines refer to informal communication channels within an organization, focus groups are conducted to gather feedback on specific products or services, nominal groups are used for decision-making, and boards of directors are a formal governing body responsible for overseeing the management of a corporation.
