ABC Company
In this study, I have identified and indicated three goals in my personal
and professional life that been always blinking in my mind.
I am planning to be Chief Executive Officer within two years, and complete
my Master in Business Administration in this year in order to start the PHD
study in 2017. To accomplish these goals as it considers part of strategy
career development and enhance my education, knowledge and personal
skills out of the studies, I have used SMART objectives. It is the best
method for goals achievement and measurement which stands for;
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic & Time bounds. For instance,
taking the first goal as per the following tool:

authority to achieve objectives but this is an old style. On the other
hand the second higher score I got is in Human resource frame. I am
strong enough to see ABC as it is scope of people with having
empowerment, belonging and support. After Hawthorne researches,
this frame becomes significance (Daft 2013). But again this is not fit a
director and not even a CEO level. I am slightly weak in political and
collaborative as well as symbolic frames; so I am in need of moving up
and gain more experience to use diverse ways of thinking on viewing
ABC organisation. This also will help me to think devise ways in how to
write or enhance my academic style.

strengths as well as my weaknesses and design my goals in SMART

To choose the topics of interest leads to know how ABC design currently,

Apart from that, my current role towards the key concepts, I have started meeting all the
department head talk about formal and informal subjects in order to build strong relation with
them also have visited them at their offices. This will assist me to conduct with them brain
storming for ABC strategy. Working with a team and encouraging people to do so in order to
achieve the deadline and avoid errors. Maintaining a secure and competitive environment in
order to promote the outstanding people. But I have not yet start with the strategy, because I
am wanting for the whole team to be available in March 2016.
Meanwhile, I have indicated (Daft 2013) strategies for survival to have big changes in my
personal and professional life:
Generalist strategy: more narrow area, the demand decrease/ increase for some
products and services due to diversity of the products, service and customers, this
strategy is able to reallocate sources internally to changing environment such a flora
Therefore I can influence ABC success frequently when I have determined specialist strategy
for an open niche since ABC is a sport company so there is no diversity in products, services
or customers. It can adapt with the changes easily. Same as me, I can adapt with the changes
and be flexible in developing and moving up to higher level and study in the same time to
achieve my desire goals on an accurate time and most importantly benefit the community that
I belongs to.
Eventually, I identify my potential area for development, the harmony
between the assessment test results indicate that I need to focus more in
working alone, thinking diverse ways like a CEO, move rapidly ABC with
the dynamic changes or thinking political, where I am extremely strong in

In conclusion, I have explored very important skills that I really in need to
understand myself firstly and secondly understand where the company
should reach.
Daft (2013) assessment makes life easy. The results show me where I
have to focus and where I am talented in. Meanwhile as a Director of HR,
my role has to do major changes and adjustment to success the
organization. Indeed, Daft structure guides me to know where are the
gaps of ABC, select the topics of interest and link them with my
weaknesses in order to allow me to develop these both areas personally
and professionally.
Finally I have drown an action plan in order to achieve my short, medium
and long terms positively.

Synopsis
Board of directors have asked me to design a strategy for ABC, because
there is no strategy. They advised me to conduct meeting with the
departments head and think about organisational strategy. Therefore, I
have gathered overview of structural design (Daft 2013, p. 70). Then I
have collected the organisational structure, and designed the group based
on their job function, and grading structure in order to design the
correlation and linked them horizontal and vertical also organisational
structure is reflected in the organisation chart (Daft 2013, p. 70).
Therefore the new organisation chart shows with the changes is indicated
in recommendation section.

ABC Company
Introduction
In this paper, the researcher has taken ABC company as a case study to
restructuring the organisation. During my experience with ABC I have
understood some of the organisation features and observed that this
company is like other companies over the world has some strengths and
weaknesses. The structure dimensions of the organisation are that the
company is in a good shape, the employees having high wages and strong
benefits. They are loyal to the company, low turnover and high demand of
specialised applicants. Comparing with the other organisations, ABC is
leading the others in all aspects except in strategic structure. Having the
best sports facilities and best employees with skill set, in fact lot of
candidates grabbing the opportunities to work in this organisation.
1.1 Company overview
ABC is a sport company, having most of sports facilities and equipment
designated for sporty people. It is a hospitality environment and
considered as a private sector under government supervision. The
company is in a median point in the market, employed more than 200
talented, sporty staff and exports with over than 200 nationalities,
different ages and various cultures. Having big mega sports events
periodically per annum locally and internationally. The hierarchy of
organisation is span to narrow, the authority and the power is only with
the top management. Indeed it is a centralization organisation.
Most importantly is the company is growing successfully and increasing
number of the staff in order to provide sports equipment and service the
customers. Currently, ABC does not have competitors due to leading
position that the company has gained in the Middle East territory,
however Gulf politics it might affect the business by time to time.
Contingency factors are considered main influence factors that can shape
the organisation structure. ABC has contributing healthful sports and
29
ABC Company
fitness in the region as one of the company goals; however I am aiming as
Human Resources Director focusing on dimensions of organisational
design in all aspects since ABC does not have strategy till date in order to
comply with the smart City (Dubai), and improve the communication
skills/ channels to increase the performance of the employees.
However there are some minor and major challenges that influence the
organisation in order to run business smoothly. In this regards two major
challenges have indicated in this paper and solving these issues would
take sometimes to help the organisation to grow properly.
1.2 Business case for restructuring
There are significant factors that influence ABC environment internally and
externally. Hence the aim of this research is to shape and draw the
organisation structure to do major changes during three years ahead since
there neither strategy nor objectives. It would require writing the vision,
mission and company statement, and identifying the elements that may
affect the business by using appropriate tools in order to enhance the
environment in human and mechanism fields. Organisation environment
is defined as everything that exists outside the boundary of the
organisation and has the potential to affect all or part of the organisation
(Daft 2013). Hence the best tool to identify the organization is SWOT
Analysis. This instrument is one of the significant instruments helps to
analyse ABC organisation.
Challenges:
Challenges the idea that there can be a one best way and instead
seeks to replace prescription with choice. Begins by reviewing the two
main models of changing the planned and emergent approaches, before
moving on to discuss the merits of adopting a contingency model of
change (Bernard, B 1996). In this instance ABC is suffering with lack of
communication skills in all levels as well as no clear or written strategy.
Partially there are some lacks on structural and contextual dimensions.
That impacts on the behaviour and performance of the employees of not
30
ABC Company
receiving information and lack of knowledge pursues lack of tools
technology which require for more manpower in order to process the
documents in appropriate rapidly way.
The expectation here is to have appropriate systematic/structural
organisation and develop the organisation from Human Resources point of
view within three years, such as:
more improvement.
Design organisation structure and have ABC strategy
Creating organisational structure and design strategy for the
company
Building awareness for the employees after designing the vision and
mission to know where ABC is going, moving from one point to
another and where it should reach.
This study would change the major Issues in ABC which influence all the
employees and external factors in positive way. Meanwhile, the company
will require to have values for employees to adapt their ethical behaviour
based on the following points:
Core values of the company:
suppliers
Professionalism when dealing with each other and to reach to the
companys goals
31

technology

focusing in this, it will be my main changes in this company to understand
the employees and build relationship to enhance the communication. Also
involve the department heads to design the organization and have
organisation structure.
2. Micro environment (Porters Five Forces model)
Internal environment (Porters value chain)
Micro (porters 5 force analysis), building business case (Refer to
appendices 4). To ensure the business actually makes the transformation
from one that focuses on individual performance to one that stresses
collaboration and social connections, everyone from the CEO to entry-level
employees must embrace the change. The best way to get them to do this
is to involve them in the process from the start. Involve ABC
management, employees, Human Resources, Information Technology and
managers (Turek, M. 2012). The Porter's Five Forces tool is a simple but
powerful tool for understanding where power lies in a business situation.
This is useful, because it helps you understand both the strength of your
current competitive position, and the strength of a position you're
considering moving into (Mindtools, 2016). Having said that, porters 5
force analysis describe as follows;
Threat of new entry: ABC is a unique company. So this is not

Threat of Substitution: as indicated earlier, financially ABC is high so
there is no threaten concern.
34
ABC Company
Daft (2013) has confirmed that managers in non-profit company deal with
various stakeholders and ABC services is to attract clients, donators and
volunteers. He empathizes that the organisation comprises many sectors
with stimulatory factors; such as Industry, Raw materials, Human
Resources, financial resources, market, technology, economic conditions,
government, sociocultural and international sectors. Out of these sectors,
I have selected SHRM. Human Resource (HR) department is frequently
accorded a key role in shaping ABC direction through programme of
strategic change involving best practice transfer or culture change
(Martin, G. & Beaumont, P. 2010). Daft (2013, p.3) says that an
organization can be understood primarily by understanding the people
who make it up (Refer to appendices 5).
External and internal environments (SWOT analysis and GAP analysis)
SWOT Analysis is one of the significant tools helps to analyse the company
(refer to appendices 6).

knowing the mission, ABC can create strategic plan/ objectives (Objs), such as maximizing
stakeholder values so the goals must be more measurable, upon these Objs it will be divided
the tasks to the departments. Each department comes with Business Unit (budget and plans)

Literature review
Organisation theory assists the management to link between the history
of the company and the future in order to manage ABC effectively (Daft
2013, p.7) it can be applied also for non-profit company like ABC (Daft
2013, p8). Therefore Nadler and Tushman (1999) said it is significant to
understand ABC and understand the environment where it operates and
other factors that influence and make up an organization. It is importantly
addresses problems of competitive strategy (Bowman, C.1997). Thus ABC
has to put into accounts and understand right from the beginning the
elements as demonstrated by (Daft 2013). They are four structural
dimensions: Formalization, Specialization, Hierarchy of Authority and
Centralization (Daft 2013). Andrews,R, Boyne,G.A, Law,J. and Walker, R.

said something against the concept to look at the duplicated structure of
the triple system of policy responsibilities and put provide some
suggestions in order to improve the system as well as to build a policy
that is more responsible. Whereas Ferry, L., Eckersley, P., and Zakaria, Z.
(2015) argue that effect on organisational performance (Bovens, 2005),
longstanding hierarchical accountability structures to ensure financial
conformance. Finally Dafts (2013) comments contingency framework for
environmental uncertainty and organisational responses referenced helps
managers understand ways in which environmental uncertainty influences
organisational characteristics. Adds there is no perfect structure because
it is all depends.
The board of directors roles influence on corporate-level strategies well. It
is described and understood in the literature of strategic management
(Matyjas, Z. 2014). Managers have to understand fully the organisations,
assess them as open systems like integrate them with the company to
survive (Daft, 2013, p. 32). Whereas Watson, A. and Wooldridge, B.(2005)
disagreed that ABC manager does impact significantly on corporate
strategy they agreed that the effectiveness is occurred by corporate
strategy itself, or by company performance. Daft ( 2013 p. 34) confirms
that open systems made up of numerous interconnections and divergent
choices

In fact managers require understanding the company structure before
creating strategies that focusing on attractive system. Unsure defines the
situation when a manager makes decision with no valid information
regarding environmental elements and has a challenging time expecting
external changes (Daft 2013, p. 153). The organisation and managers
have to understand and modify continuously changing demands and make
the organisation structure design resilience at any time and manage the
changes gearing towards contingency factors and avoid organisational
risks
39
ABC Company
After analyzing the role of the mangers on changing ABC structure and
have resilience strategy, and under the dynamic market circumstances,
ABC managers require a strategy with a new model in order to form
sustainable competitive advantage (Massingham, P. 2004). The author
comments that the results of external environment and ABC structure in
the connection with level of business strategy and ABC performance
(Nandakumar, M. K., Ghobadian, A., O'Regan, & Nicholas 2010).

In this section I have indicated the new structure diagram since ABC does
not have before, considering the existing, new and remove positions are
no longer existing in the organization;
ABC Company
structure, no finance and IT departments also some sports game are not
exists before.
Now I have created new ABC structure that shows clearly who reported to
whom and the career bath for the employees is visible.
This resilience environment will make life easy, so I can create new
positions or departments smoothly whenever the company require for.

Conclusion
In conclusion, ABC has major challenges that should be taken seriously
because ignore it will affect the business and the performance of the staff
so it will get worse and worse by using the right sources in order to solve
the issues accordingly and increase the performance of the employees.
The issues that still waving since ABC it is established the business up to
date are: no organizational strategic and lack of communication.
The role of the directors/ managers is to understand the direction of ABC
based on that they can write the strategy and the subsequent in order to
cascade it to the ABC departments as objectives so people will be more
involve and communication will increase.
I have allotted Human Recourses sector out of ten sectors (Daft 2013),
and I have put the efforts from Human Resources point of view. Last I have
designed an action plan for the current situation and issues, and I have
stimulated some recommendations towards ABC issues.
Nevertheless, the impact on new structure of organizational effectiveness
and efficiency can be done by obtaining sources easily through a
particular department or a position, achieving the goals via a position, and
under whom supervision. Also easily identify which department can satisfy
the stakeholders. Meanwhile collaboration between the departments and
the positions in different levels are made sense. Putting into account CSR
that ABC is planning to create a competitive environment among the staff,
having a reward system and measure their performance through right
channels. Sustainability company can be achieved by having alternatives
plans in order to continuing survive and resilience environment would help
ABC to cross the challenges over any dynamic changes occurred in the
world such as the second economic crisis 2016.
