Battle 2
Week 4: Case Study Analysis Using Metaphor
1. Identify the business problems of each of the cases; describe the metaphor(s) used.
Case 1:
Guidance for AMR Authors About Making Formal Theory Accessible (Makadok, 2022). Business Problem:
Complex organizational theories are frequently developed in academia, but their practical applicability needs to be clarified when they are difficult to understand. Therefore,
the problem is to make sure that these theories are understandable by academics and business practitioners who could find them to be of great use.
Used Metaphor:
When companies are thought of as "brains," they are shown as dynamic, ever-
changing structures that process information, adapt, and learn. Organizational theories can be very complicated, like the complex neuronal networks in our brains. However, clear lines of comprehension and communication are necessary for the brain to function at its best. Similarly, accessibility and clarity are essential if companies are to reap the benefits of these theories.
Case 2: The role of leadership style in organizational change management (Mansaray, 2019).
Business Problem:
In the world of business, change is inevitable. However, the human factor, particularly the leadership style, can either serve as a barrier that creates resistance or as a catalyst for seamless transitions. Growth and progress can be halted when leaders cannot handle change skillfully.
Used Metaphor:
Organizations can be thought of as "political systems," which brings to mind the many power dynamics at work. Leaders are like politicians in this environment. Their tactics,
modes of communication, and methods of making decisions have the power to affect the larger
Battle 3
group of stakeholders in the organization. Similar to how political tactics shape public opinion, leadership philosophies can influence how organizational change is viewed and accepted.
2. Rank-order the critical issues stated in the cases.
1. The complexity of formal organizational theory (Makadok, 2022).
2. Resistance to change due to leadership styles (Mansaray, 2019).
3. Navigating power dynamics during change (Mansaray, 2019).
4. Making academic content accessible to non-academics (Makadok, 2022).
3. Evaluate the proposed solutions. Are the solutions valid? Why or why not? How/why did
using metaphor(s) assist in the solution?
Case 1 Solution:
Makadok (2022) suggests complementing formal theory presentation with graphical and intuitive content while streamlining and streamlining it.
Validity:
Without a doubt. Concise, graphic content frequently resonates more successfully than complex written information in today's fast-paced digital age. This method may help demystify intricate theories so that a larger audience can understand them. This is where the analogy of organizations as "brains" really comes into play. Organizations can gain from simpler and more visual theoretical frameworks, just as the human brain processes visual stimuli quicker and more effectively than textual material. This metaphor emphasizes how clear messages are necessary for the organization to process and respond, just as a brain needs clear signals to do the same.
Case 2 Solution:
Mansaray (2019) encourages leaders to adopt inclusive and participatory leadership philosophies, particularly in times of transition.
Validity:
Definitely legitimate. Change can be disturbing by its very nature. Leaders could mitigate opposition by building an inclusive atmosphere that considers varied opinions. Using organizations as a metaphor for "political systems" strengthens this answer. A political system's

Ethical Dilemma When Algorithms Discriminate
Promising companies the ability to get to know their customers and maximize the benefit gained from each one, CRM systems could be called a
marketer's dream. CRM software allows companies to look closely at customer behavior, drilling down to smaller and smaller market segments.
Once so segmented, customers can be targeted with specific promotions. For the company, this process reaps the greatest returns from
marketing efforts because only those customers are targeted who are likely to respond to the marketing campaign.
From a customer's perspective, CRM systems seem like a great idea. You finally stop receiving advertisements for things that don't interest you.
But what if a company uses its CRM software in a more discriminating way? Where do companies draw the line between using CRM data to
offer certain clients customized deals and unethically discriminating against other customers? For example, lenders, which often segment their…
