JHT2 Task 2

A.
The first 4 years of Company D was rough in some areas but improved throughout the years. The image rating was one major weakness in the company. Image rating stuck around 41 to 70 for the first 4 years of operating. With each year the rating increased little by little slowly to compensate or help the company. The image rating slowly climbing helped the company by showing the customers the organization is up for making improvements in order to gain their loyalty to by the products.
Another weakness in the company was the reject shoes. Company D had over 2000 pairs of rejected shoes each year for the first 4 years of operation. This hurt the brand at first but helped the company learn to make improvements to machines to decrease rejects. Once improvements started on the machines the less rejects the company saw. If I were to do it all over again, I would have started making improvements after the first year of several rejects like I saw.

B. The last 4 years with Company D was eventful, there were several lessons to learn with corporate responsibility and S/Q ratings as well as how to raise the image rating. Company D’s biggest resource strength for the last 4 years was corporate responsibility. The organization decided to use green footwear for the shoes, as well as recycled boxes for shipping. Daily Durable decided to spend $1000 each plant towards energy initiatives in order to save energy and reduce pollution. Charity donations of 10% of operating profit increased the company’s image rating. The highest amount given was in year 16 with a total of $5,484. Ethics training and workforce diversity training was offered to all employees for all 4 years to help employees understand the laws and they know the company is being fair during hiring processes and training opportunities. With the efforts in corporate social responsibility, Daily Durable earned a 2nd place award for corporate responsibility at least 2 years in a

    I have been asked to develop an action plan for Anne Ewers as she moves forward with the ongoing merger of the Utah Opera and the Utah Symphony. A balanced scorecard has been provided for both organizations, and this document will include analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each organization and recommendations that Ms. Ewers can take to address the weaknesses. Additionally, I will analyze the four aspects (including strengths and weaknesses) of the scorecards for each company and finally identify one highly probable issue that could arise during the merger process in the areas of finance, human resources, and customer satisfaction. Recommendations will be made for how the merged company executives can mitigate each of these issues.…

    In analyzing the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera merger case study, it was obvious that many factors, finances, personalities, and even the community would be involved. The wide reaching affects of a merger between these two types of organizations was eye opening. At the time of the proposed merger, the Utah Opera had a stronger financial footing and was not in danger of closing. The Utah Symphony however, was sliding down a dangerous financial slope. The organizations were structured differently in their number of employees and financial compensation packages. These differences would prove challenging in a merger and could be the basis Bill Bailey would use to oppose such a merger.…

    As Chairman of the Board for the opera, Bill could rely on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to find motivation tools to support the merger. Maslow theorizes that as one need is met the needs further up the pyramid become important. Both the opera and symphony exist and have lives thus meeting the physiological needs. Moving up the pyramid from safety through self-actualization Bill could find ways to describe how the merger helps both organizations fill the needs for themselves which would in turn help the merged organization. Each organization has strengths and weaknesses, such as the opera having a stronger fund-raising history or the symphony having a greater reputation, which could lend themselves to ensuring the success of the merger.…

    From the given company information and profile, it seems that Company Q’s current attitude toward social responsibility could be improved. Customers are not only interested in what products and services stores offer, they are also interested in how the companies serve the community. Company Q needs to change a few policies in order to improve their current social standing in the views of their customers. First, closing stores in areas of need is not a customer-friendly policy. Next, offering products customers ask for, but with limited selection and high profit margins is not a customer oriented policy. Finally, refusing to donate day-old products to charity shows a lack of caring for the communities the company serves.…

    Company X does not currently have any environmental initiatives. There are a few I would readily recommend, going paperless, turning off our computers before leaving, and allowing more telecommuting. Each one of these can help protect the environment by reducing pollution in one manner or another. These are all small changes that could have a big impact. With a company size approaching 150 employees we can generate quite a bit of pollution just in our day to day activities without knowing we did so.…
