1. Who are the Customers of Mitchell and his HR Staff?
The customer’s of Mitchell and his HR staff could be considered to be every employee of the Bank of Montreal. This would include Executives, Directors, Line Managers, and even the employees. Secondarily, he would have customers at the parent company of the Bank of Montreal, SBC. Finally, Mitchells’ staff would also be responsible directly to the end customers of the Bank of Montreal.

I further believe that in order to get them to cooperate, it goes back to my answer in question number two. Mitchell is going to have to ensure that he has buy-in from senior management. Secondly, he is also going to have to understand the environment in which he is affecting the change (Jackson & Schuler, 2006, p. 167). The worst thing that Mitchell and his staff could do is make change for the sake of change. Change has to be calculated; otherwise the line managers and employees are going to be resistant to a partnership with HR. One of the most critical parts of HRs tasks in this endeavor is to ensure they gather all the information necessary to make informed, logical, and productive changes.

According to the researchers the increased value results from an opportunity to utilize a specialized resources which arises solely as a result of the merger (Jensens & Ruback, 1983; Bradle, Desai and Kim , 1983).

Markets consist of buyers that differ in their needs, wants, resources, locations, buying attitudes and buying practices. To reach customer insight, it is important to understand the needs of different segments and to communicate pertinently to them (Brown L, Brown C, Gallagher SM, 2008).
Benlow points out, "being a customer means being driven by simple and personal desires… and ultimately demanding that those desires be met" (141). When being a customer you are always right, the process will be shifted for your individual desire, you use the quickest/easiest route, and you are encouraged to be passive. When being passive, "we pay for someone else's work,
Why do I say the customer? Because it is apparent that in modern times more and more businesses alienate the customer and only focus on profit. Take for example the success of Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, who had one philosophy, “Buy low, sell cheap, high volume, fast turn” (Packer, 101). Walton figured out that people were cheap and he exploited that knowledge to raise his riches. Wal-Mart grew exponentially fast and lost management over its roots, what once started as a business for people in need with perhaps great customer service is now known for driving smaller stores out of business with terrible customer service.
