Assignment Task: In 2012, Yahoo's new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) implemented a change for employees who were working from home to stop the practice and required them to commute to the office. The change in culture was driven by the desire to improve innovation through human interaction. The organizational change now requires employees who work from home to work in the office.
Discussion Question 1: What are the main driving and restraining forces involved in making this organizational change at Yahoo?
Discussion Question 2: What resources would Yahoo need to manage this change and how they will help to implement action steps?
Hint: Sometimes it's easier to reduce the impact of restraining forces than it is to strengthen driving forces.
