Q.5 Like most small scale industrial goods companies Bhushan Rubber suffered
hard times in the decade of 1990s. At a 1997 executive meeting, a number of
frustrated middle manager argued that repeated pay reductions had reduced
morale leaves in the company. President Srikanth replied that he didn?t care
and that it was their problem, not his. As a result, the executives left the
meeting discounted.
Srikanth had been a financial specialist, and the board of directors assigned
him the top job because they thought his financial expertise could turn the
firm around. At first, the move seemed a good one. Shrikanth used his
financial know how to arrange creative financing for Company?s debt, but
that didn?t deeper problems.
Shrikanth was a numbers man with few people skills, and he proved to be a
poor planner. His effort to diversity came too late. Attempts at
reorganization met resistance from the corporation?s entrenched centralized
structure. Always uncomfortable with face to face communication, he issued
periodic memos exhorting employees to increase productivity. Internal strife
increased as blue collar and white collar employees alienated, and the
management team became ineffective.
Read the above case and answer the following question.
A. Which of the management functions (planning, organizing, leading
and controlling) does Shrikanth perform well? Which of the
management functions does he perform poorly?
B. What do you think Shrikanth should have done?
