Answer 1

Answer:

E.A, B, and C

Explanation:

Culture can inhibit management by the fact that strong belief may become an inhibition to innovative thinking and executives may wish to continue doing things the way that they've been done for a long time and therefore refuse to adapt to new changes. It can cause the error of thinking that what has worked before will continue to work and never fail. Culture should therefore be adjusted at some point or under certain circumstances.
