Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forming a coalition increases the legitimacy of the coalition's desired outcome because it demonstrates strength in numbers and shows that multiple individuals or groups support the decision. While coalitions can make decisions more complex and ambiguous, they can also be part of a manager's job description and rely on who you know rather than what you know. However, the strongest argument in favor of forming a coalition is that it gives the desired outcome more legitimacy.
