The ISOL + Group produces and sells a series of insulating products for the construction industry, sheathing for pipes, and rigid boards blanket insulation. The firm’s subsidiary has its own production plant and increases its own production capacity through buying from another of the Group’s plants those products it cannot manufacture due to technical reasons or in situations when it is operating at full capacity. The company’s production department is in charge of logistics in addition to other functions such as end-product distribution. The subsidiary, ISOL + FRANCE has initiated an extensive rethinking of logistics matters in the Group. This process was geared towards evaluating the situation

The company should also realize that the customers they serve are the very reason of their mission (hence existence). In order to achieve this the internal processes must be in order as to achieve the most efficient and effective process flow to arrive at optimum costs.

In today’s world, opening or managing a company is very difficult. The Economic crisis, heavy taxation and barriers of entrance in some countries, make it more difficult.

All successful organizations are affected by internal and external factors. These internal and external factors have an impact on the organizations four functions of management. The organizations that better adapt to these factors are the organizations that are the most successful, the more profitable and the companies that have will be around for a long time. AT&T is a company that has been around since the 1800’s and has been able to adapt to these internal and external factors that in a lot of cases affect the four functions of management, which are planning, organizing, leading and controlling.

1. An attitude is a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of either favor or disfavor. This idea is important in how it relates to individual behavior. Attitude and behavior almost have a causal relationship. This correspondence depends on attitude specificity, attitude relevance, time of measurement, personality factors, and social constraints (Nelson 124). A bad attitude could be caused by greater issues such as lack of motivation, minimal feedback, lack of trust in management, etc. It is important to understand these possible underlying issues in finding techniques for managing a team of people. Attitudes are learned emotions. The responses we have to people evolve over time and are great affected by direct experience and social learning. In a study by Timothy Judge it was found that a “core self-evaluation, correlates with employee job satisfaction. They also found that one of the primary causes of the relationship was through the perception of the job itself. Thus, it appears that the most important situational effect on job satisfaction is linked to core self-evaluation”(Saari & Timothy 396). As evidenced it is a personal mindset that determines job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is also related to organizational citizenship behavior (OCB).

Poor customer service and appalling workmanship in product quality due to poor quality control tarnished the reputation of Rover cars as a high quality innovative manufacturer. Quality control involves inspection of materials, processes, end products as well as customer services guaranteeing high standards. Unlike its competitors, Rover cars were poorly built and were prone to rust and its windows tend to leak within months of purchase. As a result, the company was losing its winning factor, which is desirability among customers. As the company progressed, lack of employee discipline put its reputation at stake as Rover cars became notoriously known as a car company with poor build quality and poor customer service as complaints from customers were conveniently swept under the carpet. Overcoming the situation, I would adopt internal and external control as well as market control to improve the control of the organisation. With market control, influence by competitors in terms of organisational behaviour would encourage employees to cope with the competition by using similar quality materials to ensure longer durability and are less prone to rust. Also, implementation of internal control promotes self-discipline among employees in fulfilling tasks expectations and responsibilities, especially in customer service. By implementing external control strategy, managers must take immediate action against employees should there be a disciplinary problem among

Modern business is becoming more and more challenging and to cope with this challenging environment, managers need to follow certain organizational behavior. Organizations in both the public and private sectors are facing changes including political, economic, sociological, technological, legal and environmental issues. In my opinion, managers should have Leadership skills, high communications skills and good team working ability. These certain qualities are most crucial for the managers to run their profit making organization successfully. As the world is becoming more and more technologically advance, managers should make a good relationship with others. So alongside these above qualities, inter personal skill is also very important. In my opinion, these skills are related with one another. In order to successfully face these challenges, organizations need to ensure that their leaders and managers at all levels have a complete understanding of their roles, goals and required competencies. In our organizational behavior course we learn that, there are three different types of managerial skills, which include technical skills, human skills, and conceptual skills. In my opinion a successful manager should have a combination of them.
