Riordan's major customers are automotive parts manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers, the Department of Defense, beverage makers and bottlers, and appliance manufacturers. This research paper will discuss the issues being faced by Riordan Manufacturing and provides solution based on various motivation, rewards and performance concepts Situation Analysis Issue and Opportunity Identification – Total reward system The current reward system is barely based on performance, instead recognizing cost-of-living increases, seniority and position. Faced with declining morale and work ethic, Riordan managers have been pressuring the CEO to "do something" about the rewards system. Riordan’s employees comprise three major demographic groups. Baby boomers make up the bulk of the managerial and about half of the manufacturing staff; GenXers make up the majority of the professional staff, as well as some of the manufacturing staff; and the GenY contingent are the newest hires, found primarily in manufacturing, engineering and IT. These three groups have radically different perspectives on rewards and motivation, valuing everything from interesting work to bigger paychecks. Stakeholder...

...CATE REAVIS Sonoco Products Company (A): Building a WorldClass HR Organization Your business is only going to be as good as the people you’ve got. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if you don’t have effective execution by people, it’s going to fail. — Harris DeLoach, Sonoco CEO In order to make progress, we had to somehow decide what things were going to be the same across the company and what things could be or needed to be different to support the businesses. There was a balance that we needed to figure out. — Cindy Hartley, Senior VP, Human Resources It was late August 2000. Cindy Hartley, senior vice president of human resources (HR) at Sonoco, a 100-year-old global provider of industrial and consumer packaging and related services, was meeting with five members of her reorganization task force comprising the heads of employee relations and organizational development, the company’s chief labor attorney, and two key divisional HR directors. Looking to cut costs across the company, the company’s newly appointed CEO had asked Hartley to come up with at least two potential new HR structures that would reduce the function’s costs by 20%, or $2.8 million. But there were other equally pressing reasons for the reorganization. Number one was to ensure top-level accountability for talent management and upgrading. The second reason was to provide for a more even distribution of HR talent and support, particularly to the company’s smaller growth divisions...

...market share and growing the range of products and services that they provide. In order to achieve these goals effective management within the organisation is required. In a general terms management is comprised of ‘top management’, ‘middle management’ and ‘operating management’. However when organisations reach the size of today’s major carriers these definitions can become fully define and a larger framework is required. When the air transport industry was in its infancy management was a much simpler process with smaller teams and shorter communication paths between levels within the organisation. In recent years major carriers have come to employ tens of thousands of people reducing the importance and sense of contribution anyone employee has within the structure. Lines of communication have stretched between decision-making and the ground worker removing a sense of teamwork and a confusion of the ultimate goals of the airline. In the highly competitive world of air transport creating and maintaining an efficient management structure could be the difference in success or failure. Principles of Management Broadly speaking there are three major levels to management; top, middle and operating. There is also the chief governing body of the corporation known as the board of directors. This group is chosen by the shareholders of the company and is represented by individuals from fields...

...have made an effort to know his emotional mindset and not only his technical skills. As K. Pavlovich indicates in her article, “sharing encourages the integration of affective and cognitive consciousness which facilitates the ability to find common ground for solution building”. Eventhough the president, later on, worked closely with Bill, there were no real emotional attachments, whereas as a top manager, the president should have taken the time to encourage Bill to share his emotions and create an underlying connectivity, which would have also allowed the president to be aware of the real situation his employee was facing and actually monitor when changes occur, to be able to deal and resolve them on time. Crisis: It’s clear from the details in the case that at the beginning of the year Bill was struggling to cope with the demands of the company and burning out. He was after all, responsible for cash management while Deltronics was on the verge of bankruptcy. The company’s executives were very satisfied with his outstanding performance during this period, but both the V.P. and the President should have at least been aware of the possible aftermath of such a stressful situation. As managers they have to realize this is a teamwork environment and therefore understanding the personality and coping...

...Blozis will be able to better utilize strengths already within the organization and hone on new found strengths through proper management structure and advanced technical specification training. Part 2: Issue Identification The primary issue faced by Blozis Company is an absence of communication and control throughout its procurement process. Uncertainty and misalignment is evident across their decentralized and informal supply chain. Anyone in the company can initiate requisitions and material can be purchased with minimal to no approval. The informal presence and lack of leadership from the top down contributes to a number of important issues that need to be addressed in order for Blozis to continue being successful. First off, roles and responsibilities within the organization are not clearly defined. The supply department must rely on outside departments to decipher the technical specifications; this is significant since the $16 million gross sales of the company consisted...

...succession planning. Project Manager – How so? President & CEO – I experienced professional growth in the company, and I suspect that others would like to grow in that same manner. I would have liked a defined career path and the ability to track my progress for meeting the requirements. Knowing where the openings are and what skills it takes to fill the positions would have made it much easier to advance. Project Manager – I understand. It seems the system tracks the answers in performance reviews as well as the training courses each employee completes. President & CEO – Yes, exactly. Those records would be entered into the system by the employee. Each employee could see progress in the system and plot a course. I know everyone does not want to be the president of the company and are content in the current role, but those that want to grow will stay with the company instead of leaving to grow elsewhere. Project Manager – I appreciate your time. Is there anything else you would like to share? President & CEO – Yes. We have had great success with the financial integration, and I expect a full six months more of savings than was originally calculated due to the time savings in the automatic calculations. The people time saved with calculation speed in the system was near to six months less time required for reaching the return on the investment point. The automatic calculations make the time a bit more in savings. Project Manager – Thank you. I will have a report...

Nevertheless, LBJ Company needs to be recognized for what they are doing right, but must also need to address matters that are harmfully affecting them and their business and will remain to damagingly impact them if they choose to go public, which will negatively drive down the cost of their shares etc. This case study will examine these matters and make recommendations for what LBJ Company can do to strengthen their internal controls. I. Internal Controls Requirements Inform the President of any new internal control requirements if the company decides to go public. Internal controls are mechanisms, policies and procedures used to decrease and control operational risk. In order to prevent employees from committing a fraudulent or deceitful act, controls must be comprehensive and complete. Still, internal controls by themselves are not sufficient. They will only be effective if they are strengthened by culture, policies and procedures, information systems, training and supervision of staff. The principal objectives of internal controls are: • They assist to offer consistent data by making sure...

An example of bureaucratic management theory can be found in companies in which an organization is divided into individual departments, each containing a manager who reports to a director, a director who reports to a vice president and a vice president who reports to a president or CEO...

...Richard Nixon resigned as President, it is obvious why this has come to the forefront. Ivanka Trump, President Donald Trump’s daughter, is the acting White House Senior Advisor. One may ask, “What’s the big deal?” The big deal is this question, “Is it possible for a family member to the president, to do their job as Senior White House Advisor objectively, considering the fact that her father is the President of the United States?” We can argue a very real case of undue influence when it comes time for Ivanka Trump to make decisions that affect America as a whole, and potentially, the world. According to Wikipedia, undue influence is defined thusly: “...in jurisprudence, undue influence is an equitable doctrine that involves one person taking advantage of a position of power over another person.” (“Johnson v. Buttress”). This is especially true of relationships such as father-daughter, husband-wife, etc. Technically, nepotism is defined by...
