So that they will have practice in dealing with technology.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A labor shortage has occurred due to the lack of skills in teamwork, make independent production decisions and the use of sophisticated technology as it's the year 2025.
For the lack of teamwork within the workers, employees should be put into teams in the work environment and experience interdependence rather than independence in work, especially in project teams. Departments and divisions should be separated into teams and work should be shared amongst team members, where the employees should experience socializing and exposure to other subordinates and peers within the organization.
The business should start using more of a democratic leadership style, where employee empowerment should be given importancein decision making. The workers should be given the power to make certain decisions to hold up the independence of the working environment, and not just doing what's told by the top management. Central planning techniques should be idealized within the operations of the company, because in 2025 there seems to be a much laid back nature of the management and more hands free environment, implementing more of a laissez-faire leadership style towards the employees.
Further, training and development should be done on all of the firm's employees for the implementation of capital equipment in the business. The workers should be educated about the technological advancements in the world and made aware of how to operate these equipment/devices in the future as it will be the main tool in operations and production for businesses moving forward.
