Q.5
CASE STUDY:
Shree Ram India Ltd. is a manufacturing company located in Surat. The company
was doing well from the past thirty years and the people involved in the operations
were confident in their respective areas of operations as they were doing it from
quite some time. There was a feeling among some of the employees that it is
becoming monotonous kind of an affair although the efficiency has gone very high
due to the fact that the same person is doing the job from quite some time.
A recent change in the policy and procedures of the company, it was made
possible for the employees to engage in job rotation. Soham is In-charge of a
manufacturing operation from the past five years and he has three subordinates
directly reporting to him - Vinod, Sahil, Rushi. Vinod has been working in the
same job position from the past twenty years, whereas Sahil from the past five
years and Rushi from the past two years in the same job position.
Soham being quite young and dynamic welcomed the change in the policy and
procedures as it amounts to giving more options to the people those who are
dynamic and look for more challenges. Moreover it provides more holistic
perspective about the organization. Soham perceived that it is a win/win situation
for both the employees and the organization. He called a meeting to discuss the
possibility of the adoption of job rotation. As the meeting progressed, Soham
became aware that out of three subordinates, two wanted to change to a job
rotation schedule, whereas one is not at all interested for the same. Soham was in
a fix and adjourned the meeting. After giving a considerable thought to the
problem, he was able to crystallize on four alternative approaches that may be
followed to manage this conflict situation:
1. Forget about Job rotation in this unit.
2. Issue the orders that job rotation is mandatory for all the three subordinates with
immediate effect.
3. Respect the feelings of each one and work out an arrangement where job
rotation occurs for a while, & is stopped for a while, and so on, thus allowing each
person to have his or her way for some time.
4. Call the meeting again and discuss the pros and cons of the proposed change
and that their interpersonal relationship are very important than any job rotation.
And Try to develop a consensus for job rotation.
(a) Which of the four approaches should Soham choose to follow in this situation?
Why? Justify your answer with proper arguments.
07
(b) What special interpersonal skills should Soham need to succeed in this problem
situation?
07
OR
Q.5 (a) ?Organization?s policies should be changed time to time.? ? Agree? Justify your
answer in the reference of this case.
07
(b)
Assume that you are the CEO of the organization and you have to implement this
change. Prepare a model of change which you think would avoid such conflict
when this change would be implemented.
