Weavetech Case Summary

On the other hand, the success of the company is in large part due to the hard work of the staff who would lose their employment. In addition, it must be determined who would perform the work of the dismissed employees and if the company would be able to function without them. Moreover, the morale and productivity

Recognizing our areas of opportunity is important; therefore addressing the staff with important issues and concerns is priority for us, especially if this comes from the clients.

AutoZone has responded to changes in its macroenvironment. In 2015, AutoZone ranked No. 4 in the commercial market share in the automotive parts industry (Meek, 2015). They responded to this challenge by increasing investments towards more supply-chain initiatives. AutoZone developed a new mega hub strategy by increasing the frequency of their shipments from its distribution centers to its retail stores. AutoZone has a total of eight distribution centers in comparison to the twenty eight distribution centers owned by O’Reilly Auto Parts. Currently, the distribution centers work twenty four hours a day, seven days a week to keep up with the high demand. AutoZone estimates that if they open three new distribution centers, they will have

Given the above information, I think it is accurate to accept the audit of Shambra Products. For one, numerous problems remain to be resolved. With a thorough audit, some adjustments or suggestions could change the financial aspects for this company around. For two, the scenario stated, “An audit is needed in connection with further attempts to raise money from a stock or debt offering.” This is giving justice to an audit. An audit can boost or increase chances for Shambra Products to raise more money. The main reason I would accept the opportunity to audit Shambra Products is because the company has potential for becoming one of the largest companies in the nation. I am aware and fully understand that the company does not have the funds to

For this lab rotation Rusty decided to talk quality control with Josie and I because a lot of the staff was at a really important meeting. Throughout the entire internship I've heard and seen the term QC, but oddly enough I didn't understand what it meant.

I would try to be as upfront and sincere as possible and if the situation became dire enough I would freeze wages for myself as well. This would help show the employees that even management is willing to make sacrifices to try and keep all the jobs. Another important item I would do is to keep the employees aware of the situation. This helps prepare employees incase things continue to turn worse. Along with that, if it was inevitable that jobs were going to be lost I would setup for a job placement service to come in. This would hopefully lessen the sting of being laid off while at the same time showing other employees that there is genuine concern for everyone’s wellbeing. Lastly, if layoffs were necessary I would use seniority to aid in my decision. By using seniority to implement layoffs due to a slowdown in work, it eases the burden of coming off as judgmental. Also, by using seniority, it shows long term employees that they are valued for their time and

You had an interesting point comparing academic freedom with slippery slope. The TTU case is an example of contradiction between the academic freedom professors should have and the administration goals which are under constant pressure to increase the graduation rates and create a positive school image. By changing grades the dean was “saving” the school and his own work, not the failing students, because there we no grade appeals involved. The dean could have gone some other route, when students filed the appeals and the special committee would have been created in which students and the instructor appear, but that didn't happen in this case. The dean just chose the worst more unethical way of changing the grades without informing the colleagues.

Akamai Technologies is a cloud-based service provided that is focused on content acceleration and security. According to the article, Akamai has a large number of globally distributed servers; to be specific it has 137,000 servers in 87 countries within 1,500 networks around the world. As a result, Akamai needs to geographically disperse its servers in order to develop a faster route for information to travel. It is good to mention that Akamai has a large variety of customers, including government and corporate customers. Another reason why Akamai needs to disperse its servers is to decrease the time spent on verifying packets.

The models of change that I have chosen to describe are the ADKAR model and Kotter’s 8 step change model. The ADKAR model is mainly used to help identify and drive change as well as a tool to understand any gaps that are needed to strengthen along the change process. It is also a useful framework for planning change within an organization, before implementation, and in the execution phase of the change management process. This process begins with five key goals that are the basis of the model; awareness of the need to change, desire to participate and support the change, knowledge of how to change, ability to implement the change on a daily basis, and reinforcement to keep the change in place. Each step in the ADKAR model

Change has become necessary for every organisation there is. World is moving rapidly towards better technologies, efficient systems, new techniques, compact profits, different friendlier environments and organisations are always in the race to reach new heights by thriving effectively in this competitive environment (Kotter, 1996).

United Technologies (NYSE:UTX) shares weakened in the latest trading session following lower-than-expected guidance for the next fiscal year. Though, the company reaffirmed its 2016 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.55 to $6.60 and sales of $57 to $58 billion, but its FY 2017 earnings are anticipated to be flat to down compared with FY 2016.

Employee Terminations or Layoffs. The interviewee also considered the legal issues that arise as a result of carrying out employee terminations or layoffs as a major challenge facing human resource professionals. The process is stressful as even a single misstep can expose the company to the possibility of an expensive lawsuit.

To promote Industrial development in India, the ICICI bank was established as a public limited by the Government of India. In May, 1996 ICICI bank felt the need for major change management process, in order to extend into new markets and to compete with other private banks. The organization change was from a development bank to a market-driven financial conglomerate. Employees were finding changes unacceptable because they had to learn new skills and adapting new techniques was tough. These enormous changes caused lot of confusions among the employees. Using ADKAR model of change management, we intend to bring the changes without creating any chaos in the organization. In this scenario, ADKAR model works best because it starts
