Case 2: The Wallace Group
by Aaron Rothstein
1. Vertical Organizational Communication
1.1. Management has clearly stated their issues with the Hal Wallace and nothing has been done to adapt to their needs
1.2. Corporate has expectations that are unrealistic given the time and other projects employees are working on. (example- getting information from matthew smith to satisfy corporate planning and operations review requirements)
1.3. The issues that employees have stated should have been quite obvious. It shouldn't have taken Fran and her consulting firm to uncover some pretty blatant issues
2. Talent Acquistion
2.1. Low starting salary
2.2. Hiring under qualified engineers
2.3. Moving the experienced engineers around to different projects due to the lack of new qualified talent
3. Distribution of Control
3.1. Hal Wallace has one minded views and needs to distribute power to senior management
3.1.1. New node
3.2. Hal is scared to risk spending money in order to increase revenues
3.3. Although there has been a minimal increase in revenue, the one person monarchy is holding the company back
4. Adapting to Company Expansion
4.1. Lack of management training program
4.1.1. Promoting experienced employees with no management experience
