Ajay had inherited the business 3 years ago when his father Vijayendra passed away. The business
was started by his father 4 decades ago. It grew to be a midsized corporation. Although Ajay grew up
in the family business, he never understood his father?s approach. His father had treated employees
as part of the family. He paid them well and asked their advice often and spent more time listening to
their ideas & complaints. When Ajay took over he wanted to change things. He wanted to treat
employees as hired help only. He increased production quotas by 20%. He closed the playground
area to expand his plant further. He had plans to cut further pay increases. He stopped asking people
for their advice. He expected his strategy to result in higher profit. But it was not happening. Payroll
costs were lower but personnel costs were up. Training costs had gone up and many employees lefts
the organization. In desperation Ajay hired consultants who after understanding the history of the
organization advised Ajay to go back to the ?Humanistic touch? approach.
Questions:
(a) How successful do you think Ajay?s new plan will be?
(b) What challenges does Ajay face?
