Explanation
The problem described in the question pertains to Samsan Tech's investment in intrinsic motivation. The managers are offered the opportunity to attend external training courses and the company would pay for this, which is a intrinsic motivational strategy. However, managers are unable to take up this opportunity because of their heavy workload and unavailability of time. This could be attributed to a lack of work organisation.Option A : "Lack of horizontal integration" is not relevant as it pertains to diversification across tearms and does not directly relate to the situation at hand.Option B : "Lack of work organisation" appears applicable, it refers to an inadequately planned workflow or schedule which prevents managers from availing the opportunity given by the company.Option C : "Resource based view" is related to an evaluation of company's resources but not related to workload and time management.Option D : resonates option A for vertical integration instead horizontal, so it's also off the track here. Therefore, among the given options, option B sectarianises the problem suitably.
