Davis as the marking director power bases are; legitimate, expert, coercive, and referent. Davis demonstrated this to help Green with his new position; first meeting with him, encouraging and outlining his expectations. The coercive power base is used when Green does not meet the expectations of Davis (Sasser, 2008). This was demonstrated by the e-mails that were sent to McDonald about Green’s performance (Sasser, 2008). Green was promoted to senior marketing specialist; giving him legitimate power.

c) Analyze and summarize Trexel/Bernstein’s business models prior to the next board meeting David Bernstein’s business models for Trexel started as long term development and shifted to fast track. As we’ll see, these were unsuccessful because relying on partner development and turnkey technology didn't give Trexel enough control and ability to follow through with projects. The initial goal Bernstein laid out should have been the primary focus all along - to make Trexel a self sustaining company with control over every step of the process for a particular market.

Analysis: Although Green is willing to achieve a high selling growth for the company, he concentrated too much on achieving the goal instead of observing the surrounding situation. Moreover, Green did not have enough managerial experiences so he was not able to deal with issues based on a structural and long-term view; that's why he decided to avoid interactions with Davis instead of making improvements or rebuilding his relationship with Davis after Davis first criticized him.

Dana and Henry saw themselves as strategic contributors to the business strategy of MGI, whereas Sasha perceived them as interns and business plan writers, while Igor saw them as helping with vision and strategy.
