MANAGING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE1
7. Analysis of design for change: Anticipated problems and recommendations
Anticipated problems: The problems that the twins Maria and Franco experienced after
Gail retired from PfC is they were not able to manage the strategic leadership of their company.
As they were only the board members of the company and all important decision being taken by
Gail and Benito, both the twins were inexperienced about handling the business processes that
were being running in the company. Gail was focused on having employee satisfaction and was
thought about the well-being of their employees. But Maria and Franco was not able to carry out
the legacy and were facing loss in their business.
They were also not having patience and were very rude to their employees and
manufacturers which caused problem in employee retention in the company (Birasnav and
Bienstock 2019). Their inexperienced leadership in the company affected on all the departments
of the company and lead to many issues. There was no planning about how to handle the
business processes and there was no long term goals for the company (Shao 2019). The revenue
and the sales of the company was deteriorated gradually and was not able to handle the company.
They were also not able to pay for the organic cotton from Bangladesh and had to switch on the
low cost cotton from other manufacturer.
Later, when they decided to produced low cost merchandise, there was a huge
competition in the market and other companies was producing a good quality merchandise with
low price. PfC also lacked in designing new line of clothes for which the market of the company
declined totally.
Recommendations:

MANAGING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE2
1. The twins should have taken training or expert advice from their mother and should
have followed the procedures as well as adhere to the policies that Gail has implemented in the
company. They should have retained their employee well-being leadership that their mother has
established.
2. It very necessary for leaders to take risks for the company. Leaders leading a company
should be flexible and should know the procedure about how to implement a new policy or a
new procedure in the company (Covin and Slevin 2017). The leaders of the company should take
risk for the company that might benefit the company.
3. Leader should have commitment to the manufacturers or to groups they are connected
to. The mission and the vision of the group should be internalized by leaders of the company
(Langley et al. 2017). The leaders should commit their own ability so that they can lead others
and should include technical skills as well as includes conceptualise the situation that helps to
achieve their goals.
4. The leaders associated with the company should be proactive in taking decisions and
their involvement in each department is the most essential part that should have been followed
by the twins of PfC. They should be proactive in all the tasks that they perform in the company.
5. Conflict among the companies is common and leaders should have the ability to fight
for the company (Wang 2018). There should be proper interaction between the leaders and the
employees and an effective manager or leader should the ability to manage the conflict within
the company.
