问题:All the managers in SpendCo currently have personal assistants (PAs), but the new FD has suggested that this is not necessary, and the PAs should be removed.
  Not surprisingly, the managers have opposed this suggestion strongly.
  Which aspect of the cultural web best explains the managers opposition to the plan?
  A. Rituals
  B. Symbols
  C. Organisational structure
  D. Power structure
  答案:The correct answer is: Symbols.
  Having a PA is a status symbol for the managers within the organisation. Removing the PAs will therefore be opposed by the managers because it involves removing an important status symbol.
