Organisational developmentIntroductionThe entire report is based on the case study analysis of the B. R. Richardson Timber ProductsCorporation. B. R. Richard is the president of the quoted organisation and Bowman is the relationship manager within the company who see towards the growing relations among the employer and the employee. The discrepancies in relation to the employees’ satisfaction were the concern for the company and the strategy adopted by the plant manager was not satisfactory enough. Thus, Lawler was contacted to arbitrate the particular issue by constructing the motivational plan for the organisation. On analysing the case certain issues were recognised and studied to know the root cause of their occurrence along with the impact of these issues on the organisation as a whole. Afterwards the interventions related to the company were well defined and specific issues were identified so that the problems could be resolved on the basis of priority. Therebythe specific interventions were selected and examined; decentralisation and strategic interventions were chosen to improve the condition of the organisation. For that sake the strategy and structure aspect was given the priority. At the end, the necessary implementationwas recommended and action research model was selected to perform the action and implement the selected changes and interventions. In nutshell, the organisational development is the combination of employee satisfaction, organisational strategy, culture and structure. If the appropriate concern is paid on these attributes most of the problems are likely to get resolved and the staff becomes resistant to changes which results in the overall development of the employees and organisation. 2

Organisational developmentIssues with B.R. Richardson Timber Products Corporation and its impactB.R. Richardson is the president of the company and Richard Bowman I the industrialrelationship officer. He assists in building up the relations among the industries. Lawler had mastered in managing the training and development consulting reputation. The issue that arouse was there’s a need for the motivational session to be conducted in the organisation specifically for the blue collar employees. This is because the environment within the plant was less morale and the fatality was noted in the surroundings. Also there was an issue in relation to the plant manager. He carried the bossy nature and was authoritative which could have become the hurdle in solving the motivational issues. Another problem is that everything within the organisation is connected with one another; a discrepancy in one section automatically affects the other portions as well (Dupray, Guillemot & Melnik-Olive, 2017). In one or the other section there occurs the issues related to setting up of goal, constructing the mission and the strategies to be adopted are not clear to the plant manager. Even the machinery used in the timber plant was out dated and the manager was not botheredabout it. Such ignorance might result in the severe accidents and injuries to the workers working over the machinery. The workers were not allotted the specific role to perform, they report to the superior cross-functionally (Woody, 2014). Company should specify the designation to make the situation clearer. Another major problem that occurred was the depletion of the resources, the allocation of resources is inappropriate and this results in imbalance in nature and its natural resources. Mission and vision of the organisation is also not clear which affects the objective of the company. The directions are not clear and in such a case there are chances that the value of the business is lost (Baumgartner & Rauter, 2017). Since the plant has been established there is a need for certain advancement in terms of technology, but in the B.R. Richards Timber Products Corporation the technology is not as per the standard. There occurs the technological intercession which imbalances the structure of the organisation and affects the quality of the product within the organisation.
