SWOT Analysis and hierarchical chart: Change in organizational structure or departmental structure of the business-write your detailed recommendations for the best way to implement the change
employer is contemplating making a major change to the company and is trying to determine the potential impact this change could have, and whether or not it would be beneficial to the company’s overall success. Some examples of possible changes might be:
- Production of a new product or service
- Change in production process
- Change in organizational structure or departmental structure of the business
- Change in software or other technology used by the business
You have been asked by your employer to create a SWOT Analysis and hierarchical chart to determine the effects this change would have on the company, and to offer your recommendations for the best course of action to implement this change.
You can use the following SWOT Template to get started.
Please be sure to include the following:
- Explain the change the company is contemplating.
- Be sure to include at least three points in each section of the SWOT table.
- Create a hierarchical chart to show the framework of which positions would be involved in this change and who would report to whom.
- Based on your findings of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, write your detailed recommendations for the best way to implement the change. Be sure to discuss how the company might use its strengths to bolster its weaknesses, and then discuss how the opportunities might help to offset the threats.
Discuss the leadership style you have used with each employee. (Use the two leadership style articles in the readings.)
There has been an increase in employee dissatisfaction in the company. Your supervisor has asked you to develop a plan to increase motivation for two employees in your department. You have surveyed the employees to learn more about what they value and what is important to them in the workplace.
Below are the lists of their workplace priorities. Items are listed in order, with the items at the top of the list being more important than the items further down on the list. You have also made a few notes based on your observations of their work history and performance.
Discuss the following points in a report (Microsoft Word) to your supervisor:
- Discuss the leadership style you have used with each employee. (Use the two leadership style articles in the readings.)
- From the readings, choose the theory of motivation that you feel would be most effective to use with each employee and explain your reasons.
- Describe how each of these employees would relate to that motivation theory. For example, if you used Maslow’s theory, on which level would you place each employee and why?
- Determine two ways that you might motivate each employee. Your existing budget does not allow you to offer raises, and there are no open positions above these employees’ positions at this time, so promotions would not be an option. Discuss your motivation ideas for each employee, and explain why you think your motivators would be effective.
