Organizational structure and culture which affect employee behavior and success - Chapters 15 & 16 Organizational behavior 18th edition

Scenario (fictional)

An industry consulting firm has the following structure and culture:

All the employees at this consulting firm work full-time. All the full-time consultants report to various industry directors depending on the industry contract. The company employees work mostly from home with directors or consultants renting temporary office space with or without videoconferencing when needed for either client meetings or vendor meetings. The company is very successful and has an expanding client base.

The company CEO is extremely relaxed and extremely smart and expects everyone at the company to display a relaxed yet expert demeanor as well. There really are very few rules or expectations at the company as the CEO also believes in keeping processes very simple.

The previous president retired about six months ago, and the CEO, together with a human resources firm hired a new president. About two months ago, the company's employees(i.e. consultants) started receiving emails from the new president putting pressure on all of them to produce results in less time but pressuring them to charge clients higher sums without making any more money for themselves. In addition, the new president wants the staff to come into the office now three times a week for meetings. Three months ago the new president hired thirty new full-time consultants that seem more like salespersons than consultants to existing employees. A few of the long-time consultants have been emailing the CEO about these changes and suggesting they may go elsewhere. In the meantime, the Finance Director has detected several anomalies in the contract terms and financial results from some of the new consultants and one or two of the existing consultants.

Describe the organizational structure at this consulting firm and how it affects employee behavior.

Describe how the changes to the organization's culture might affect employee behavior.

Provide a recommendation for any adjustments you think need to be made as this organization based on the reading and explain why.

1. Project Evaluation.
   1. Describe the weighted average method of evaluation. How do you use it? How are the weights determined?
   2. A university is evaluating whether to continue using their current CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software:
      1. PowerCRM - The current system is slow, had two weeks worth of outages last year and frustrates the marketing department because it isn’t flexible.
      2. The competitor is SailsForce, a CRM platform developed by a company whose founder also loves ships. It is known for being reliable and flexible. Schools using it report average recruitment of 5 additional students per year.
      3. Using the above facts, choose 5 evaluation criteria, weigh the criteria and score the companies. The evaluation criteria should be pertinent to the question; use your imagination to score the companies (Hint: you can use the template) Explain your choices for criteria selection and weighting.

   3. Total Cost of Ownership

      1. What is meant by Total Cost of Ownership? How is it calculated? What is included? How is it used in project evaluation?

      2. Consider the options from Question 1 Project Evaluation:

      3. SailsForce has an upfront cost to implement $25,000. The annual licensing fee is $600 per user, and there are 75 employees in admissions who need a license.

      4. PowerCRM is already implemented and has a licensing cost of $40,000 per year. The average full-time student, after discount, pays $20,000 per year.

      5. Compare the 5-year total cost of ownership.  

      6. Based on the TCO and Weighted average, which would you recommend and why?
