Doubtless scrum can be imposed from above as a management tactic. This would open to more wider discussions about how power operates in workplaces. I don't know if there is anything intrinsic to Scrum that makes this more common as imposition but there are certainly risks involved in it that can push a negative power dynamic that is certainly possible in any undemocratic workplace. I'd have to reflect on this a bit more before answering. But in a couple of cases I've seen it was sought by the team "from below" to protect the quality of their work, make work more enjoyable and self-organised and basically work to more reasonable timescales. There is something to scrum being a toolbox you can use and having a brand. It means you can ask for a process and people know what you mean. Rather than say "I wish work was better".
