Read the following case study and then answer question $1\mathrm{.}1$

Imvelo Corporation

Employees of Imvelo Corporation received a long e$-$mail from management this morning wherein senior

management was congratulating Bongani, the human resources $($HR$)$ director, for a job well done

regarding the installation of a new digital human resource management $($HRM$)$ solution or system. They

also applauded him for his constant communication with senior management about the project. Although

Bongani prepared the budget on his own $-$ without a team $-$ senior management approved his budget for

the installation and implementation of the new HR system. Employees were told to embrace the new HR

solution and to use it$.$ Management also pointed out in the e$-$mail that the installation of the HR solution

had taken longer than they had anticipated because of various problems and challenges Bongani had

faced, including the issue of the budget that had to be increased because of additional expenses of

procuring the digital HR solution.

HRM and finance were directly affected by the installation and implementation of the digital HR solution

but they were not happy because they were not involved in the procurement and installation of the new

digital HR system. They wanted nothing to do with the new HR system because they were fearful that this

new digital HR system would cost them their jobs. Furthermore, they had not received any training about

it$,$ they were only hearing rumours that their reporting structure would change. Bongani was now busy

focussing on evaluating the implementation of digital HR which he would also do alone as the project

manager.
