Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The elements of the POPIT model that need further investigation are people and process. This is because the staff members have raised concerns about the compatibility of the new automated system with the current process of handling parcels without barcodes or with obscured barcodes, as well as the impact of the system on their job security. These concerns relate to the people element, which covers the roles, skills, attitudes, and behaviors of the staff, and the process element, which covers the activities, tasks, and procedures involved in delivering a service or product. Option C is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm torn between B) Information and technology and D) People and organisation. The barcode issue needs a technical solution, but the human element is also key. Maybe a bit of both?

I think C) People and process is the way to go. The team needs to be involved in the transition to the new system and their concerns about manual work need to be addressed.

I agree with Elli. If the staff members are worried about their roles becoming redundant, then People and organisation is definitely the key element to focus on.
