Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Abolish all regional business units and manage all operations from global headquarters.
Why it's wrong here
Centralizing everything ignores local market needs and legal requirements.

Abandon the continual improvement initiative entirely in regions that show any initial resistance.
Why it's wrong here
Abandoning initiatives prematurely prevents global organizational capability growth.
