Primes

  • This parallels how software systems achieve compatibility via adapters and bridges when native compatibility is impossible.
• Cultural Friction
  • Organizational Change: A flattened hierarchy conflicts with existing deference structures; remote work conflicts with presence-based status markers; diversity initiatives conflict with homophilic hiring patterns—a constellation of value-collision dynamics Cartwright and Cooper (1993) document in their study of culture clash during mergers and acquisitions.
