Rose Company
Situation Analysis
The Rose Company is trying to practice a major strategy, which is to change from
a centralized structure of manufacturing organization to a decentralized
structure, in which the activities will be coordinated by the general manager at
the actual production sight that is the Jackson Plant. Rose Company will build a
new plant, where new procedures, processes and methods can be implemented.
The heads of the departments will not be reporting to their functional
counterparts but they will be under the leadership of the plants general
manager.Therefore, the major concern for Rose Company in this case is the
implementation of the strategy and not its evaluation.
There are various concerns that must be taken into account when implementing
a defined strategy by the general manager. I will be dealing with a set of changed
relationships to make a decentralized structure to function properly. There is a
potential threat of constraints and barriers inside the company even with the
new policies placed according to the current strategy. I am a new person at the
Jackson plant and this is my first assignment in a major line job. My
implementation skills will determine the success or failure of the strategy and a
number of analytic, administrative and leadership skills are required to develop
this implementation.
The change management requires proper measurement and strategy in order to
improve and motivate the people to achieve the goals of the company. The
changes required at Rose Company are urgent but need to be taken at a
medium pace instead of slow or fast because record of Jackson plant has not
been satisfactory for several years, and a medium paced strategy will enable to
identify and address potential issues as they arise. To improve the performance
of the plant; cost reduction and quality improvement of products is required to
maintain competitive leadership and product advantage.
