Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Option 1 -> This contradicts effective restructuring principles as launching subsidiaries without leadership would create management gaps rather than improve organizational efficiency. Option 2 -> Wipro flattened its organizational hierarchy by eliminating a layer of executives, which directly empowered business unit leaders with greater autonomy and faster decision-making capabilities. Option 3 -> Centralizing decisions would be counterproductive to empowerment; Wipro actually decentralized authority by giving more power to individual leaders. Option 4 -> While technology adoption may have occurred, the significant organizational change specifically referred to structural and leadership modifications, not technological implementations. Hence, Option 2: Empowered leaders by removing a layer of executives -> Wipro's restructuring focused on organizational delayering, removing middle management tiers to create a flatter structure that gave business unit leaders direct authority and accountability, enabling faster responses to market demands and customer needs -> correct
