Confused and unsure how to solve Read the following case study and answer 1) Evaluate Cecily's options and 2) what should Cecily do? Why? "Even as Cecily Blake reads the latest news in an industry trade publication, she's well aware the Blake-Lyon Tech is falling behind its competitors. Years ago, when Cecily founded Blake-Lyon, she centered it in a pure hierarchal structure, where all the engineers and technicians reported upward to her. At the time, she was able to steer the organization toward new and more innovative products and procedures; now, as competition grows, Cecily is aware that Blake-Lyon cannot keep up. One significant problem facing the company is the slow pace of communication.

Cologne Ltd. is a large consumer products company. The incumbent CEO of the company left and Mr. Raza, who was second in command to the CEO, took over as CEO of the company. Mr. Shamsi is a senior executive in the company and has his own views. He has after all been in the business for a decade and a half and he thinks he knows how to tackle the slump the industry is going through. He did not wasted time and talked to the new CEO and told him what he thought needed to be done in the company. The CEO heard him out and suggested that he give him some time to learn the ropes. Eventually, when he did lay out his plan, Mr. Shamsi was shocked to see all his suggestions completely ignored. When he asked the CEO about this, he responded cryptically that he wanted a team that supportedhim completely and hinted that Mr. Shamsi leave the company if he was unhappy. He actually ventured far enough to offer his assistance in finding a new job for Shamsi. Mr. Shamsi was shocked. He did not understand…

With 7,000 member-owners, it is the second-largest single-store grocery cooperative in the nation in terms of sales and volume. However, when a vocal minority of its democratic membership quashed plans to expand to a second store, the business was at a crossroads. “Things were so bad,” said the board of director’s member Peter Keat, “that we literally felt paralyzed as an organization.” With tensions running high, Cultrera interviewed Eric Douglas of Leading Resources Inc. (LRI). Cultrera was impressed by Douglas’s track record for managing change and gaining consensus within large organizations. “I was looking for someone with really good communication skills,” Cultrera said. “Someone skilled at working with diverse constituencies.” D2K: Establishing Trust as a Foundation for Long-term Growth Together Douglas and Cultrera mapped out a five-stage process they called…

CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE PLANNING IN BROOKLYN’S LEADING TO CHANGE The reason why the new owner of the Franchise, David Becker, had decided to replace the old manager with a new one was that this particular restaurant was doing poorly in terms of profit as compared to other restaurants in the chain.
