Case Study Of Philips

The primary objective of this paper is to address three key problem areas within JCPenney: age diversity, sexual harassment, and lack of organizational commitment. These specific problems have led to many challenges for not only management, but also for employees. Without motivated and satisfied employees, the JCPenney business has been trickling down. The dissatisfaction of employees has been represented through the decrease of productivity, morale, and enthusiasm towards the retailer. Due to the growing generational gap, there has been a notable increase in workplace deviance behavior. In addition to that, with all of the recent changes within the company, employees have felt neglected due to the lack of communication

Using a consequentialist perspective, I can understand to a certain degree why Sears implemented their new productivity incentive plans in all of their auto centers. This approach focuses on the results, or consequences, of the action or decision. Upper management’s primary goal was to increase profits as much as possible after years of declining sales and profits. In order to achieve this result, they decided to develop more of a commission based pay for everyone involved in the auto center in order to motivate employees to achieve higher sales. Using this new approach would likely result in positive results for all stakeholders

For a century, Eastman Kodak Company was a leader in their field of capturing images on film but in the late 1980’s the company was struggling to be at the top of their field. According to Bolman & Deal (2008, p. 93) “its name and film were known around the word, but the company had been rocked by intense competition, high cost, declining customer satisfaction, threats of hostile takeover, and low employee morale.” The CEO, Colby Chandler, understood that reorganization was necessary so that the company could emerge from decline. Chandler decided to divide the company into six different divisions, one being the black-and-white film division, which evolved into the most successful division of the company (Bolman & Deal, 2008). The executives in this division examined what changes, expectations, and productivity they wanted for the division and its employees.

JCPenney’s strategies have been successful so far, but still need to fulfil everything. They have everything planned out from 2015-2017. They biggest things that is keeping them a floating is the Sephora new plan. The portion of JCPenney’s net sales from women’s accessories has increased 12.0% in fiscal. The Sephora boutiques has delivered a good performance in the first quart of fiscal 2015. They are working on upgrading different merchandise, but some are taking longer than others to succeed are. It is all a time thing and making sure, they are making sales.

The company of my interest to research was Sears, Roebuck and CO. I wanted to know why and how this company made itself well known. Another reason why is because lately this company has been in the eyes of the media. Therefore stockholders and more due to the company’s struggle of finance and meeting its daily goals are worry to keep investing in the company.

Royal Phillips Electronics drastically suffered from poor performance and as a result filed bankruptcy. Many couldn’t believe that they have filed bankruptcy based on great sales. They were very innovative with their products including the head shaver, compact cassette, and the CD. Despite, being Europe’s largest electronic company, Phillip’s profits were not up to par and sales were drastically declining. While the company was on a downward spiral, Gerald Kleisterlee took over as company President and made some adjustment and daring decisions that put the company on the forefront. The company went through a substantial restructuring that allowed for growth and an increase in profits within the company. The new President allowed for the company to revamp and allow for not only growth to occur but a shift in the mission and values of the organization. With the vast change in the company the business was simplified and made even smaller, which allowed for the top level executive to focus solely on the business and employees at hand. This in turn allowed for a substantial amount of strategic planning and implementation of new ideas that caused the company to reevaluate what caused sales to decrease in the first place, and allow for drastic change. Once Kleisterlee developed strong new innovative ideas, which would cause substantial change throughout the organization as a whole, the organization started to develop. The atmosphere and culture shifted, which in turn

This personal case paper will focus on the company that I am currently employed in, PT LLC. PT is one of the many pharmacy benefit management companies that manages pharmacy benefits for major health insurance companies or organizations. Some health insurance companies run their own pharmacy benefit organizations embedded within. PT is owned by a major health insurance company, TCTS. PT is owned by TCTS, but is not operated as a third party. It is rather operated as a third party organization that was created to give independence to the parent insurance company mandated to adjudicate pharmacy benefit for members. TCTS is a non-profit insurance company, but PT is a for-profit business. PT is operated uniquely because it provides services to members/patients, is owned and regulated by an insurance company TCTS and regulated as well by the government by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The arrival of Gerald Kleisterlee in 2001 brought organizational changes to Philips that is evident in the marketplace today. The new CEO restructured the company by outsourcing mobile phone production to CEC of China and the production of VCRs to Funai in Japan. This was followed by the outsourcing of TVs, CD players and components with simultaneous movement of remaining in-house production to countries like China, Poland and Mexico, who had lower costs. He also sold off several businesses, including the core semi-conductor business. What evolved was Kleisterlee’s vision for a new Philips – a lifestyle company centered on health and well-being – which organized around healthcare, lighting and consumer lifestyle.

Philips has thrived on its technological prowess, which is a result of their strong focus on research and development. Specifically, Philips maintains a product-focused strategy and their highly decentralized National Organizations allow them to adapt to different market conditions globally. Human capital has historically been a key resource for the company, as they focused on caring for their workers and coordinating business efforts in a cross-functional environment (i.e. technical and marketing managers working on projects together), but frequent leadership turnover and seemingly endless turnaround efforts have weakened this valuable capability. It is arguable, however, that the cross-functional culture is still active at Philips and most of the top management team has completed foreign tours of duty.
