She is simply known as the \u201cboss\u2019 daughter\u201d. \u00a0Joan and her father have agreed that she will take over as CEO in the next two months. No one knows of this decision.<\/p>\n<p>Having taken BMGT 365 Joan realizes that she has her work cut out for her if she is to be a good company leader. The first thing she has to do is take stock of the company. This is what she sees. The company has netted 1.5 million in sales for the last two years with no growth rate. \u00a0Costs have, however, increased by 3 percent. \u00a0The company produces and sells a variety of invitation styles at different price points but her most popular items seem to be either the \u201cbudget\u201d invitations or the \u201chigh end\u201d expensive paper products. \u00a0Her sales people have traditionally only sold to card stores or stationers. The company has never sought to sell directly to the customer. Joan would like to explore the online market for future growth potential. \u00a0In addition to the new markets, Joan would like to revamp the company image and marketing plans. Joan\u2019s father the current CEO, was approached by a Singapore firm who would like \u2018Invitations Inc.\u201d to go into a joint venture with them to set up a separate web store that will sell invitations to Asia with local stores in Singapore. Joan and her father are uncomfortable with the approach because they lack understanding of the Asian culture but do see a great business opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>There is another issue that is on Joan\u2019s business agenda. \u00a0The company is located in Kent, Washington one of the largest lumber towns in the country. Being close to the paper source has saved money in the past for the company but now pressure is on to seek \u201cgreen\u201d methods of production. \u00a0A recent article in the Kent County Gazette challenged \u201cInvitation Inc.\u201d to get in touch with their \u201cgreen side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The business side seems solid right now but her father has never really changed things since he started the business forty years ago. He has managed his way to success. Her father\u2026 Joan thought is another matter. What is his role going to be? He jokingly says that he wants to go into \u201csemi-retirement\u201d but never really says what that means. In fact Joan\u2019s not really sure that he wants to retire. When she asks him what role he wants his reply is \u201cI have just one request don\u2019t make me a figurehead. I would rather retire completely. You choose the job or have me retire either way I will do what you want. It is your show now sweetheart.\u201d \u00a0Garret Salmon is an extrovert through and through. \u00a0He always wants to be near the action and thrives on running the company. His open personality and hands-on style has made the business what it is now. Joan knows this but her role growing up as the \u201cI\u2019ll do any job girl\u201d has made her privy to lots of company gossip. She heard the new middle management staff of which there are three, two men and one woman, say he is nice but too controlling while others like the Vice President and CFO, men who have been with him for the last 25 years, \u00a0have given up trying to think for themselves and just go with his flow. Where do I put my father? I need to establish myself and my style with these people. I want to make big changes and I have to get them on board. Yet, I don\u2019t want to lose my father\u2019s knowledge and enthusiasm. I don\u2019t want to lose him altogether.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0 After reading the case study, create a leadership plan. \u00a0In creating the leadership plan, discuss the daughter and father in terms of the following required elements: Leadership role Leader as individual Social architect Change agent \u00d8 \u00a0Father as a manager with short-term goal orientation \u00d8 \u00a0Daughter as a leader with long-term goal orientation Relationship [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-education"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47403\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/assignmenttutors.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
