Question

During annual inventory week, a department store may ask its employees to work 12 hours a day instead of the usual 8. During tax-preparation time, the store’s accounting department may work similar hours. Although accounting employees are in a different department from stockroom and sales employees, it’s reasonable to expect that the accounting employees wouldn’t be terribly upset by the temporary change in hours because they’ve seen it in effect elsewhere in the store. This is an example of innovative change.
(True/False)

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Innovative Change is a change introduced by the management which encourages all the employees to achieve the target and goals set, with the boosted enthusiasm and the employees tend to accept such change.

An expected overtime from any department is not an acceptable change, and there is no innovation in such change.

Although if a working technique would have been introduced to reduce the time and increase the capacity of workers or accountants, that would be referred to innovative change.
