a. changing the company's leadership practices and strategic position

Explanation:

Organizational design refers to how a company is structured and divided into divisions, sub divisions, management hierarchy and departments.

When a change occurs in organizational design, such a change would be a significant change since owing to it, the previously held roles would change, the way resources are allocated would change and so would positions.

This would require a change in the leadership practices as well as change in strategic positioning.

Strategic position relates to how and in which ways an organization differs from it's competitors. A change in the organizational design would lead to a change in it's strategic position.

Thus, change in company's organizational design changes requires a. changing the company's leadership and strategic position.
