CASE STUDY

Part I

Pick a company that produces a good or service. Choose a company that:

  • Interests you. Consider companies for which you might want to work or where a family or friend works. This can be a local, national, or international company.
  • Is not too diversified. For example, Proctor and Gamble would be a bad choice because they are really several kinds of companies all operating under one name, since they produce soaps, detergents, skin care, paper products, toothpaste, etc. To determine if your company is too diversified ask yourself, “In what industry does my company compete?” If you can think of more than one industry in which your company competes, then it is too diversified.
  • Has been in existence for at least 10 years.
  1. (Page 1) Write a 200-300 word introduction of your company and what it produces. Discus the industry, if it is growing, is it a strong, long-lived industry, etc…(20 points). Proof read, plagiarism check, grammar check and spell check! Cite all sources and use either footnotes, end-notes, or parenthetical citations).
  2. (Pages 2 – 3) Describe at least two factors that may affect the demand for the goods or services. Show graphically the impact of each factor on the demand curve for the good or service. You MUST use 2 of the demand shifting factors in the chapter! (20 points for each D graph & paragraph) These do not need to be things that have happened or are happening. Feel free to make up events that would cause a shift of the demand curve. Make sure you describe in words the event that would shift the demand curve, state exactly which factor, and show the shift in a complete and correctly-labeled graph.
  3. (Pages 4 – 5) Describe at least two factors that could affect the supply curve of the goods or services. Show graphically the impact of each factor on the market for the goods or services. You MUST use the two of the factors in the chapter! (20 points for each S graph & paragraph). Again, you are free to imagine some event that would cause the shift of supply. Make sure you describe in words the event that would shift the supply curve, state exactly which factor, and show the shift in a complete and correctly-labeled graph.
  4. Page 1 has the introduction of the company and industry. 20 points
  5. Pages 2-5 – each page should have: the scenario description of the event that is making the curve shift, the statement of which factor is occurring, and a clearly drawn graph showing the initial D-curve, S-curve, Price, Quantity , and E point, and the new D-curve or S-curve, new Price, new Quantity, and new E point. And explain what the resulting shift will cause (increase in price, decrease in quantity, etc…)
  6. There should be examples of 1 D-curve moving to right, 1 D-curve moving to the left, 1 S-curve moving to the right, and 1 S-curve moving to the left.

Total length = 9 pages:

1 page for 200 word introduction

8 x 1 page with a graph showing the impact of the change in supply or demand and explanation for each shift.

Summary: The first part of your writing assignment should be:

  • 9 pages long. Submit ONLY 1 DOC., or DOCX document! Do not submit Google docs.
  • Page 1 is the brief description and history of the company.
  • Pages 2 through 5 – each page describes ONE event that would cause a shift of demand for your company’s product. Use factors in text – yes, you MUST read!
  • Pages 6 through 9 – each page describes ONE event that would cause a shift of the supply of your company’s product. Use factors in text – yes, you MUST read!
  • Make sure all your graphs are correct and complete. This means everything is labelled correctly!
  • Make sure you credit your sources correctly! See the sample if you are unsure.
  • Be clear in your writing (and in your own head!) whether you are describing something that affects YOUR company ONLY, or affects ALL companies producing the same product. (For instance, if your company is Starbuck’s – then a report linking coffee-drinking to cancer causes a shift in demand for ALL sellers of coffee. A consumer boycott of Starbucks over their employment practices affects demand for Starbucks coffee, but not the market demand for coffee.)

Change Readiness or Needs Assessment Audit

Scenario

You have been contracted as an HR consultant by a U.S. LLC in Wilmington, Delaware, to solve their internal issues.

This ► U.S. LLC is a branch of a Singaporean software solutions provider with 140 employees and $20M revenue per year. The CEO of the Singaporean headquarters wants to open new markets in the United States, gain access to new customers, diversify risk, leverage resources, and increase profits. To meet these goals, she tasked a VP to establish and take charge of the U.S. branch.

Unfortunately, the newly formed U.S. branch has been facing several problems from the beginning.

  • Employees at the call center and the sales and marketing division are disengaged and emotionally fatigued as a result of contradictory communication between the branch’s leadership and the leadership at the Singaporean headquarters.
  • The branch team members feel frustrated and undervalued as a result of conflicting feedback from their VP and management team.
  • Messages from leadership lack consistency, especially regarding policies and practices related to human resources.
  • There is no training for team members.
  • Communication problems between the Singaporean headquarters and the U.S. branch are resulting in low employee morale.

Overall, the standard operating procedures (SOP) followed successfully at the headquarter office in Singapore could not be replicated at the U.S. branch. As a result, the CEO’s vision of successfully furthering expansion into the U.S. market remains unfulfilled.

Prompt

Perform the change readiness/needs assessment audit for the U.S. branch and submit a report of your findings to the VP in the course scenario. As the HR consultant, this would help you identify the readiness of the U.S. branch employees to adopt change plans. In this report prepared for the VP, you will discuss the change readiness of the workforce and leadership, willingness and capabilities for change, and any historical barriers to change from past planned or unplanned change management experiences.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
• Based on the Employee Engagement Surveys data, create visuals that illustrate areas in need of change at the U.S. branch. Your visuals should address the following:

  • Appraisal, job-role stagnation, and promotion or recognition
  • Apathy or disinterest regarding the vision, mission, and values of the organization
  • Lack of trust in managers, especially senior leaders
  • Impressions about the organization’s attitude to inclusion and diversity
  • A justification of your selection of data points from the Employee Engagement Survey results

• Discuss employees’ confidence in change management practices:

  • Consider the information available through the Employee Engagement Surveys and Leaders’ Self-Evaluations.
  • Do employees have a high degree of confidence in the company’s leadership? Explain your reasoning.
  • Explain the urgency for change at the employee and leadership level.
  • Analyze the middle managers’ (team leads’) role in creating an adoption mindset:  ■How would they serve as a bridge between the senior leaders and the frontline staff? ■ Are they ready to take ownership of the proposed change? Explain your reasoning.

o How do leadership styles and power distribution impact change readiness?

• Identify opportunities to increase change readiness/trust at the U.S. branch:

  • Why are some employees more accepting of change while others might be more reluctant?
  • How does the Forms of Resistance Grid explain the common reasons for resistance to change?
    ■ Refer to the Exit Interviews and explore the Forms of Resistance Grid to discuss any two forms of resistance from this list: ambivalence, peer-focused dissent, upward dissent, sabotage, refusal/exit.

• Use Hofstede’s cultural dimension model and the Exit Interviews, Employee Engagement Surveys, and Leaders’ Self-Evaluations to explain cultural considerations that may have created difficulties for the employees of the U.S. branch to adjust to the Singaporean headquarters’ SOPs:

o Summarize the importance of culture considerations using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions model in the context of the U.S. branch and the Singaporean headquarters.

  • Explain how Hofstede’s model helps analyze cultural differences based on specific evidence and not on pre-conceived notions about different cultures.
  • Discuss how differences in specific dimensions of Hofstede’s model may result in misunderstanding and change management frustration or failure.

o Discuss individualism and one other dimension from the list below that might impact the cross-cultural communication and business practice differences among the American and the Singaporean employees:

  • Uncertainty avoidance
  • Power distance
  • Long-term orientation
