when CEO robert nardell took over home depot in 2000, there was central control. store managers acted independently and costs were higher than competitors like lowes. nardell changed the culture to focus on central control and cutting costs. to control costs, store managers were not allowed to choose products for local customers. employees os their customer-focused attitudes, and customer service suffered. to repair this , the next CEO, frank blake , sought to restore the "orange apron" culture. what does this example best illustrate?
