The document discusses three scenarios: 1) A task force is being formed to address unexpectedly low sales. Key members and a focus on long-term strategy are recommended. 2) An engineering manager receives unexpected detailed status requests. It is suggested to satisfy these with weekly update meetings rather than daily individual reports. 3) An organizational chart shows different employee counts per department. This is likely due to varying demands of work between departments.

As the company’s sales are coming down unexpectedly, the president asks you
to chair a task force with the objective of developing a solution to correct the
situation. Who do you want to be on this task force? How should the task force
resolve the problem?
Since sales are a task force chairman for the organization, I want to ensure that all
team leaders are solution-and that we create a detailed strategy for long-. I will direct the
Publicity, CRM, Distribution Department Boss and General Manager. Here is the answer to
the problem:
• Making sure the sales department review is completed will be the first move.
• The selling instruction curriculum should be detailed and should include ample
detail and case examples so that workers will not make the error.
• Workers must be granted ample incentive after knowing the circumstance and
explanations behind their sales.
• The Task Force must evaluate the program of rewards and suggestions to
maximize performance of the project.34zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
• The manager will address total revenue performance with the management
publicly.
• The Task Force also prepares the priorities for the next era. Long-term and short-
term goals can lead to improved efficiency.

2. Sally Lee, the engineering manager, delegates tasks as a good manager should.
However, Mark Hayes, engineering director, has the bad habit of calling up Sally
unexpectedly to get detailed reports on various ongoing activities in Sally’s
department. Sally does not want to hold daily staff meetings in order to satisfy
Mark’s information needs because Sally is quite certain that asking her
professional staff to stand by and make daily reports will definitely be
counterproductive, as all of them are known to prefer independence. What
should Sally do?
While Sally Lee is good at handling duties well, she wants the documentation to be
produced if the director requests to meet the specifications of director Mark Hayes. They
will also hold a weekly update of all operations carried out by holding many meetings in a
week and notes on essential tasks and updates on improvements in the duties that are
appropriate would allow Sally to satisfy the demands of management rather than to
disclose every day by her workers so as not to disrupt the individuality of her staff.
3. The organizational chart of Company X reveals that different number of
employees to its five departments, as shown below. Why do the numbers differ?
Distribution of Employees
Departments Number of Employees
A 3
B 7
C 4
D 6
E 9
In my opinion, every organizational chart of each company reveals a variety of
departments. Based on the table shown above, five departments were presented.
However, each department have different numbers of employees. I believe that the
number of employees differ based on the demand given in every department. For
example, the in this department, manual work is done. So, if that’s the case, more
employees should be assigned in this specific department. If the work required in a certain
department is done digitally, I think there are less employees needed.
