This sort of “division” of the groups led to an in-group and out-group bias with altered group cohesion. The red group may have seen us [yellow group] as weak and green dominant after the green group made a large arrest my group and made it appear as though we were essentially irrelevant. It is actually funny that this happened, and also displayed fundamental attribution error of our group, because just before the arrest we were talking about arresting one of the other groups and thinking it would be so great and then when it actually happened to us we became sour, offended, and sought revenge against the green group.

A wise man once said, “The only permanent thing in the world is change,” an adage that rings especially true for organizations in this fast-changing era of technology and communication. Daft very deftly puts the inescapable need for change in three simple words, “Innovate or Perish” in his book “Understanding the Theory & Design of Organizations” [2].

A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis exists for Kudler. This analysis provides insight to Team B of how to identify and manage Kudler's internal and external driving forces in working toward innovation. Such forces include environment, supply and demand, and organizational behavior and strategy.

There are many entrepreneurs who come together as an organization and build an entrepreneurial culture to seek opportunities for innovations. An entrepreneurial culture is an environment where entrepreneurs are inspired to create new innovations. Innovation is basically to have a new idea, to change something from the old and make it new. The way people interact with one another and recognize their environment is all a part of a culture. In a business industry setting, entrepreneurial cultures are defined as the business owners getting together to inspire each other to brainstorm new ideas/ products, innovations. There are many companies out there that exemplify innovation. One that comes to mind and I believe everyone can agree is Apple

In the case of Innostat, the main issue on the culture of the organization has led to a bad productivity and has affected its effectiveness and efficiency. This portrays that Innostat has overlooked the importance of culture which claims by Schein (2004) as powerful energy for the organization in order to reach the goals. Hence, Innostat is now struggling to bring back its innovating edge. By referring to the Burke-Litwin Model (1992), it can be seen that there is an interconnectedness of four factors including leadership, culture, work unit climate and motivation which the effects will be analyze using the same model shortly. Ultimately, this analysis proposes that the most crucial issue to be addressed in the case of Innostat is

Preparing to close a group actually “begins in the planning stage” (Gladding, pg. 146). Group leaders need to have a concise idea of “how long a group will meet and when it will end” (Gladding, pg. 146). Group leaders will are guided by known “theories that have shown positive results with the targeted population they plan to conduct the group with” (Gladding, pg. 146). A group leader must “establish boundaries and under which the group will operate” (Gladding, pg. 146). Group leaders who fail to establish boundaries and continue to enforce them “will lose control of their group, lose the trust of members and negatively impact their group’s success” (Gladding, pg. 146).

A culture of innovation is simply an institution or group that is willing to look at their processes and make adjustments where necessary. By adopting methods such as six Sigma and the lean process this can be done on an ongoing basis. Processes are constantly being evaluated and recess to make sure that there's maximum flow to the processes.

The way to do this would to be the promotion and implementation of programs that fall within the proposed framework of the “spherically structured firm proposed by Miles and Snow (1995). This approach while being very broad encomapses a lot of smaller strategies and best pratices. It encomases. Lots of components of what should be determined as a perfect working structure for an organization.This makes it complicated as a strategy and lenthy because each of its subsections will require programs to address each sub part. With organizational commitment and essential needs analysis the organization could easily make interconnected and synergistic programs to address many problems at once. This will require a lot of organizational commitment from administration as well as commitment to the strategy long term as the solutions will not happen

In the Ted Talk by Linda Hill How to manage for collective creativity, she uses big companies to show how the amount of innovation in a company is determined by the leaders. In her example of google she talks about when g-mail was getting ready to drop and they realized that their website would more than likely crash if they didn’t update it, so they decided to let teams emerge with different ideas themselves. One team believed that they should build on the website they already have and another believed they should start from scratch. They were told to build prototypes to see what worked better, during this process some members of the team went to Dan and said that they didn’t have enough time for two teams to compete, but there was no way

As Albert Einstein said, “If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.” This quote is applicable for organisation and fully underpins the value of having a culture of innovation in order to meet short, medium and long term objectives.

This school sees strategy formation as a visionary process and is fell under the descriptive school of strategic management. The chief architect of the strategy is the CEO of a company. This school took formal leadership seriously and CEO is responsible for strategy formulation. It stressed on mental state and processes such as instinctive knowledge, belief, wisdom, experience and insight of a single leader. The leader should be visionary in formulating strategy. The entrepreneurial school promotes strategy as a process which has a clear image and sense of direction which can be termed as a vision. Entrepreneurial strategy often occurs in startup companies and organizations in trouble and needing a

Looking at the success of Motorola, many companies like Texas Instruments, Allied Signal etc started using Six Sigma methodology to bring organization-wide improvements.
