Which of the following is an organizational structure change?
A) the building of a new workshop
B) resentment of bosses by employees
C) a new way to package chocolate cake
D) changing who reports to whom
Answer: D
Explanation: A structure change must alter the relationships between people in an organization. Changing who reports to whom alters an authority relationship, so it is a structure change, making it the correct response. Both a new workshop and a new way to make cake are work method or technology changes, not structure changes, so they are incorrect choices. Resentment is an employee attitude change, so it qualifies as a people change, not a structure change.
