Which type of feasibility is assessed when evaluating who is most likely to resist the implementation of a new system?

• A. Economic
• B. Political
• C. Technical
• D. Legal

Answer: (B)

Political feasibility examines how internal politics and stakeholder interests affect a project’s chances of success. When you ask which group is most likely to resist the implementation of a new system, you’re looking at the political landscape—the power dynamics, alliances, and opposing pressures within the organization that could block or slow adoption. Understanding this helps predict resistance, identify who matters most to secure support, and plan change management or negotiations to build broad backing for the change.

Economic feasibility would focus on costs and benefits and whether the project makes financial sense. Technical feasibility asks whether the system can be built and integrated with existing technology. Legal feasibility concerns compliance with laws and regulations. While those aspects influence overall viability, the specific question targets the organizational politics side—hence political feasibility is the best fit.
