In Lee's films, athletic iconography points "in part to the close relation-ship between Lee's visual style and contemporary urban fashion. Air Jordans and Laker jerseys, after all, are not unique to Spike Lee joints; they were common sights on New York streets in the late 1980s" (Houston 637)

To address resistance to change, a business could make use of a variety of strategies. These include, but they are not limited to, ensuring that everyone -- from top management to lower cadre employees -- is involved in the change process; clearly communicating the need for change and its impact to those likely to be affected; and ensuring that the organizational culture is built on trust (Cartwright, 2002)
