Buy More Books is a discount bookstore chain that recently acquired Premiere Books, a smaller chain that offers extra services, such as special orders on books and music, and has a coffee area where customers can have a drink and look through books. In terms of the two organizational cultures, these two companies are likely to have a difficult time merging. What can organizational leaders do to minimize potential cultural collisions?

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
