Svantaggi

This creates a lot of friction when a outside individual is brought in to restructure and raise revenue, but many managers ignore his/her presence out of stubbornness. This really effects the entire organization things need to be done to streamline the company and they are making an effort but so many initiatives are being stopped because this brick wall of long timers. Micron needs to restructure upper management as much as it does its operations. By removing the road blocks a business plan can be effectively followed.
