Question 1. 1. (TCO B) Faxco Incorporated is a business with
500 employees. The CEO of the company has recently learned,
based on employee surveys, that the employees are not very
happy with the company. In fact, the CEO is starting to
believe that this may be the reason why Faxco is experiencing
slower sales and a recent budget crisis which threatens to
shut down the company in 3 years if it is not fixed.
You are a consultant and the CEO has asked you to visit the
company for a week and analyze what might be going wrong. Here
are your notes from the week:
(1) Attended Manager 1s staff meeting. He has 200 employees
working under him. Manager 1 talked about the recent budget
problems that Faxco is having. He said, Its not like we
didnt know this was coming. The company makes a junky product
compared to our competitors and half the time, I think the
manufacturing department is cutting corners. Overheard
Manager 1 tell an employee, I dont blame anyone if they are
looking for work elsewhere.
(2) Overheard three employees talking after Manager 1s staff
meeting. Employees are upset about the idea that the
manufacturing department might be cutting corners and creating
junky products. The company advertises its products as having
the finest quality and durability.
(3) Attended Manager 2s staff meeting. He runs the Tech
Department and has 20 employees. He was very upset with the
Marketing Department. He stated, Someone over in Marketing
reported to the CEO that a computer technician from this
department was rude to them. I did not even ask who it was
that was supposedly being rude. I know were all techies in
this department together and we dont behave that way. He
also read an email from a customer who said that someone from
the tech department was rude. His response was, All these
customers do is complain. Its us versus them apparently, so
we have to watch out.
In light of what you learned in MGMT591, about Diversity, Job
Satisfaction and Attitudes, please write up a neatly organized
analysis for the CEO. (Points : 45)
Question 2. 2. (TCO E) Neff Incorporated is a small business
with 100 employees and 4 managers.
Susan and Bob work are co-workers at Neff Incorporated. Ever
since they were both assigned to work on Project X, they have
been arguing about how to meet the goals of that project.
On Monday they get into a very loud argument about Project X,
in the cafeteria during lunch break. Manager 1 is told about
the argument and he sends out an email which says: Greetings
everyone. I heard that there may have been a small
disagreement in the cafeteria at lunchtime. I just want you
all to know that I appreciate the good work you are all doing
on Project X. I know that everyone here really gets along even
though a little workplace stress can sometimes build up. It is
good that we have such a warm, friendly group of employees
working here at Neff Incorporated.
On Tuesday, Susan and Bob get into another argument about
Project X at lunchtime. Manager 2 decides that she will deal
with the situation this time. She sends them an email stating:
Susan and Bob, you have both worked here at Neff for 5 years
and you have worked on many projects together. I know you are
both passionate about our mission and goals here at Neff. I
also know that you sometimes disagree with each other on how
to meet those goals, but we need to look at the big picture.
You are both on the same team and both working towards the
same goals. Please do not let small disagreements get in the
way of this.
On Wednesday, Susan and Bob get into a third argument about
Project X, in the cafeteria again. Manager 3 decides he is
going to handle the situation this time. He sends them an
email stating, Susan and Bob, if you cannot get along and
maintain professionalism here at Neff Incorporated, I will
