In 2014, Heidi Ganahl sold Camp Bow Wow to VCA Animal Hospitals, a leading animal healthcare provider. VCA Animal Hospitals was,
in turn, purchased by Mars, Inc. The candy maker has a large pet-care business, which is why it was interested in acquiring VCA Animal Hospitals. Now Heidi, who stayed on as CEO of Camp Bow Wow, needs to make sure her franchise owners successfully change their organizations to match the culture of Mars, Inc. Which of the following actions should Heidi take in order to make this change occur? a) She should announce changes to the entire company at once, and get everyone to change at the same time. b) She should look at her organization as a whole - how will the change affect the existing culture of the organization? c) She should reward those franchise owners that contribute to making the change. d) She should restrict communication and only give information about the change to her immediate reports.
b) Heidi needs to consider the entire organization - how will the change influence the existing culture?
This is the most appropriate strategy for Heidi in this scenario. Her role involves ensuring her franchise owners effectively adapt their organizations to align with Mars, Inc.'s culture. However, this task should not proceed without first assessing the organization as a whole. Understanding how the change might impact the current organizational culture is crucial, as the culture of each franchise could also contribute to Mars, Inc.'s culture.

Several factors influence judgments made through representative heuristics:
