A change is made in both technology and organization.

• A. Chance
• B. Competition
• C. Configurational innovation
• D. Design protection

Answer: (A)

Chance describes unplanned or serendipitous shifts that affect both technology and the way work is organized. When an unexpected development or insight occurs, it can force simultaneous updates to the tools, methods, and structures people use—requiring changes in both technology and organization at the same time. In contrast, competition is about external pressure and strategic response, configurational innovation usually implies a deliberate redesign of how components are arranged, and design protection deals with legal rights rather than the process of change itself. So a change that affects both tech and organization is best understood as a chance event.
