TASK FORCE COMMITTEE REPORT:

ISSUE AND SOLUTIONS

Due Week 4, worth 150 points

Leaders address issues and propose solutions. As a leader, you’ll need to stay on top of events that may facilitate or hinder productivity. You must create and implement solutions to address these issues.

This assignment exposes you to complex modern organizational challenges. The solutions you devise should reflect your learning and research of organiza- tional and individual influences in the workplace.

PREPARATION

1. Select an organization
Select an organization in which current events have adversely affected productivity, requiring management to resolve an issue related to: corporate culture, managing diversity, leading teamwork, and developing motivational strategies. The organization should be one with which you are familiar — where you work now or have worked previously (business, nonprofit, government, or military). You may also consider other organizations in the news, such as Macy’s for the retail industry, United for the airline industry, Wells Fargo for the banking industry, etc. The focus is on finding solutions, but you should be somewhat familiar with the organization or industry.

2. Plan your research
Use research from the course textbook, company website, business websites (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.), resources from the Strayer Library, or outside resources to develop solutions to the following questions as they relate to corporate culture, managing diversity, leading teamwork, and developing motivational strategies to achieve the organization's goals and objectives. Your recommendations must be fully articulated and supported with appropriate detail and sources. Note: Wikipedia and web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.

INSTRUCTIONS

Imagine yourself as the task force committee leader at this organization. You have been tasked with analyzing hindrances to organizational efficiency. You must propose strategic solutions.

Create a full report in which you do the following:

1. Describe the Organization and the Issue to Resolve
Provide a brief description of the organization you selected. Present the organizational issue that adversely affected productivity and that you, the task force leader, will review and resolve.

2. Analyze Current Corporate Culture
How has the current corporate culture facilitated the development of the current issue? Research the organization, dig into the culture, and analyze how it contributed to this issue. Hint: Review the mission and vision statements as well as the corporate website.

3. Identify Areas of Weakness
What are the organization’s areas of weakness? Using your research on organizational behavior approaches to corporate culture, diversity, teamwork, and motivational strategies, identify areas of weakness.

4. Propose Solutions
What organizational practices would you modify? What solutions should your task force recommend to management? As the leader of the task force, identify the suggestions you would present to the organization’s leadership with regard to modifying current organizational practices to resolve the issue.

5. Prepare an Executive Summary
Summarize your recommendations and research findings in a one-page executive summary that you will present to the CEO in an upcoming executive meeting. Note: An executive summary is a condensed version of your full report. It should summarize briefly all the main points in concise paragraphs. It should be written clearly and should use language appropriate for the audience.

Executive summary

Amazon. Com Inc. is the current leading online retailer, and has succeeded in growing
from a simple book store to a global electronics and cloud computing giant, who currently
recruits several employees worldwide. Despite the success, the company does not always
have it all smooth and this is evident from the article posted by the New York times in 2015
claiming that the company has adopted a model where employees’ needs in regards to work
life balance, recognition of work done and job security are not regarded, because the
company prioritises bottom lines above employees’ welfare. The data which was mostly
collected from former employees stated that employees are over worked and their needs to
rest and build relationships outside work are disregarded. The company’s founder and CEO
Jeff Bezos commented on the issue stating that Amazon had not been on record stating that
their corporate model was the best. Rather, he claimed that the model has worked for the
company so far, and that the company has recently been keen in recruiting employees who
are a good fit for the current culture, and employees who do not feel strained or
unappreciated.
Despite Bezos’ view on the issue, Amazon cannot afford to ignore such publicized
criticism because even though it has not yet affected the company’s operations, it could lead
to more serious issues in the long term. Therefore, recruiting employees who are a good fit
for the current culture is not the best solution. Rather, the company should adopt a vision for
a new culture which recognises employees’ need for job security, appreciation and work life
balance. This vision will be effective in dealing with the subcultures which are likely to have
caused the current complains being raised on employee mistreatment. The new culture might
take a year or two before it becomes part of the business. Therefore, involved stakeholders
should be patient after implementation of the new culture.
