Introduction Faboil Ltd has evolved into a relatively successful organisation in the biotechnology

It has been suggested that this is due to the lack of support and training from managers and that managers should involve staff in changes within practice and that this involvement facilitate co-operation (deegan et al 2004).

The barrier to enter Biotechnology industry is high. The first barrier is the extensive requirements in funding coming from heavy expenditures in R&D, along with the risk of little to no returns or even heavy losses if the drug fails to reach the market. Regulatory environment partly contributes to the barrier as the new drug approval process can be time-consuming with relatively 89% of failure to pass through. The second barrier is specialization. Companies with knowledge in obscure diseases will enjoy low threat of new entrant for there are few experts in the field.

Tim requested that another employee in the accounting department that had an excellent head on his shoulders, and would be a great help to him with the project management roles. However, that employees current supervisor did not seem interested letting the good employee go for the good of the company, but rather keep the employee put to satisfy the need of his own personal departmental needs. Phil, as the director of project management, could have made it possible for the reallocation of resources and allowed the accounting personnel to be available to work with Tim on the project management task. However, he chose to not to. Instead he only expand on his previous comment about the experience levels of his staff and suggests that Tim come with some new ways to motive his mature staff into wanting the program to be a success. But,

I also sensed that delays in some respects were being created to enable staff to claim money with regard to overtime. Therefore, I was still identifying issues in respect of staff member’s psychology in respect of meeting targets as their views still appeared disjointed and addressing this and progressing staff through change with regard to addressing work load management in respect of meeting all key performance indictor would initially be a difficult task to achieve especially in respect of meeting the business plan and Ofsted’s expectations in relation to areas such as cost, consistent supervision and guidance in respect of work load management and training need.

As for the last employee named Richard, it was evident that he totally supported the idea of a business retreat. He thinks that retreats are very good for developing relationship and socialize within the organization.

As I was reading the journal one thing which really drew my attention was that it talked about the staff training being inconsistent. In some places staff seemed confident and in some places they were not. My self being an early year’s practitioner and working in a private sector I can relate to the problems as staff are expected to go on training in their own time. Working within the Borough of Hounslow I have experienced first-hand cuts that have definitely been made in regards to training.

1. Gerald Mahoney’s attitude and performance dramatically changed after a few months on the job. What type of training should Mahoney have immediately received from John Timmson that might have avoided this?

“Biotechnology has been used for more than 6,000 years for lots of interesting and practical purposes: making food such as bread and cheese, preserving dairy products and fermenting beer” (Biotechnology - Promising a Brighter Future for the World). Although we do not always realize it, biotechnology is a huge part of our everyday lives, from the medicine we use to keep us healthy, the fuel we use to take us where we need to go, and even the food we eat and the sources it comes from, biotechnology already plays, and must continue to play, an invaluable role in meeting our needs. Biotechnology uses cellular and bio-molecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our

There are a number of barriers to professional development within my role and a number of things which you need to think about when booking/planning training for your staff. I have outlined the potential barriers which I am likely to face within my role:

Once David had made the decision to form a team, he started by hiring Brian Doyle. Brian was a seasoned consultant and would be able to offer knowledge in high-technology. Although, David had been working on this concept for some time, he failed to ensure all the stakeholders had buy-in. He did talk to a few people within the company, but never had a formal meeting with Whitney to outline his goals for the team. Also, David expected Whitney and Brian to work on any crossover of stock analysis among each other without his assistance. However, due to the past one-on-one working relationship between David and Whitney she was ill prepared for how to deal with Brian or his role within JFP. David compounded this by not providing leadership, guidance or accountability when he

Employees are not encouraged to take risks and rewarded for following rules. This is suitable for a stable environment that is hard to find in these modern days. It is visible that Quinlan’s culture was bureaucratic. In particular Quinlan had: a) Properly defined rules and procedures to function in a predictable and routine manner b) Roles were clearly defined and labour was divided based on these roles c)

Though the issue looked like personal conflicts on the face, it actually stems from the friction between two departments fundamentally different in their working methods and thought processes. The fact that the two managers, Ellen and Ronnie, with different working styles leading these two departments has only compounded the problem. Ellen’s complaint was that Ronnie’s team is not sending their timesheets in time, which is leading to late payments from the insurer and shortage in cash flow. Even Ronnie acknowledges this but the solution appears to be different in each other’s minds. Ronnie is adamant that they just need more time, while Ellen is saying that genuine effort is required, not just time extensions. As much as

Although Mary Ann did not want to waste time with this open communication process, she would have realized that Mike and Jeanine work better together when each subordinate individually feels useful and important. Mary Ann got the results out of Jeanine that she expected because she made her feel useful and important. If Mike was properly motivated and given
