      "heading": "Why existing arrangements retain an advantage",
      "point": "William Samuelson and Richard Zeckhauser (1988, Journal of Risk and Uncertainty) identify a bias towards the status quo in the choices they studied."

      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "One might infer that a successful transformation should remove more than it adds."
    },

      "heading": "What these findings do not demonstrate",
      "point": "These studies do not compare business transformations according to the number of tasks removed, nor do they demonstrate organisational performance gains from subtraction."

      "point": "In Vevey, with its global food industry environment, group headquarters and Riviera SMEs, SHR's “Change Management” programme can provide a framework for reviewing possible removals before a new arrangement is launched."
