From the time the project was introduced, organizational inertia was present in the way physicians responded to the changes that would be required to implement the new system. Board members had a lack of belief in the project and did not believe it could be done in 18 months. To help ease the anxiety over the implementation of the project, it would help for board members to see step-by-step plans for implementing the CPOE. It would also be beneficial to include any problems anticipated as well as ways to overcome them. Having a plan of action shows the board members that every aspect has been considered.

Barrett seemed to believe that his so-called ‘hands on leadership disciplines were the best strategies for keeping Intel out in front of its growing list of competitors. Instead many of his management decisions were off their mark and in some cases had to be reversed. Barrett’s third and most severe change was to institute a reorganizational plan that was not too well received by many employees who were viewed from the outside as being lost within their own list of daily duties. Identify three significant environmental pressures for changes faced by Intel under CEO Barrett’s leadership (fashion, mandates, geopolitical, declining markets, hyper-competition and corporate reputation).

Rather than making that general statement, say something like, “He got a promotion based on his assistant’s detailed reports, but then—despite the company’s record profits—denied that assistant even routine cost-of-living raises.” 6. Don’t waste words. Garner offers ways to trim wordy passages. Delete prepositions, especially “of.” For example, change April of 2013 to April 2013.

Case Analysis: Utiliscan Webster University HRMG 5000 March 6, 2013 Case Analysis: Utiliscan Introduction By looking at the survey conducted by Paul and his team at Utiliscan, we can see several areas that need to be reviewed for improvement by the management there. Talented employees are difficult to attract and some would say even more difficult to retain. Unless solutions are found to the problem areas facing the company, we can surmise those difficulties could become more challenging to resolve. Since profits have been reinvested at the company, the financial position is dire, and now the management must decide how much of the actual profit can be put invested back into making the working conditions better without forcing other key areas of the business to do without, or deal with shortages. These concerns would be especially hard hitting on the R&D division of the organization.

However, after the introduction of these two new flavours, the company’s operating margins decreased. The company’s controller, Laura Tunney, could not understand the reason for this result as, according to her analysis, the two new products were more profitable than the others the company was already producing. At the same time, Ericson’s manufacturing manager, Jeffrey Donald, emphasized the fact that the production of the new products consist of a more complex process as it requires more time in setting up machines and monitoring the whole procedure. Consequently, he thought that increasing the company’s product portfolio would not benefit the company. After some consideration, Laura Tunney arrived to the conclusion that probably her analysis was incorrect due to an inaccurate allocation of the company’s indirect costs.
