...they could not imagine losing control of it. The CEO's dilemma--were the gains of centralization worth the pain it could cause?--is a perennial one. Business leaders dating back at least to Alfred Sloan, who laid out GM's influential philosophy of decentralization in a series of memos during the 1920s, have recognized that badly judged centralization can stifle initiative, constrain the ability to tailor products and services locally, and burden business divisions with high costs and poor service.1 Insufficient centralization can deny business units the economies of scale or coordinated strategies needed to win global customers or outperform rivals. Timeless as the tug-of-war between centralization and decentralization is, it remains a dilemma for most companies. We heard that point loud and clear in some 50 interviews we conducted recently with heads of group functions at more than 30 global companies....

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The case study analysis explains at length about the challenges faced by Gentran Machinery’s JV in Hangzhou, China. Mr. James Thompson, President of GM Pacific wanted a review of the problems and recommendations from an on-site visit and had allocated the responsibility to Bill Stevenson. Mr Stevenson’s report has identified cultural barriers and associated issues as the major hindrance to the performance of the JV. There’s apparent lack of cooperation between two sets of managers and it is compounded because of mutual distrust. He also identified the legacy of Hangzhou Construction Factory, autocratic style of management & the traditional Chinese system of always going to the superior for decisions. We have developed strategy map and underlying issues were identified on the basis of reasonable inferences drawn from the interviews’ findings. Finally, recommendations have been evaluated and long-term and short-terms solutions to above issues have been listed. 2. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS Gentran machinery is a global heavy...
