Week 6 Case Study
The case study “The Hegemonic Power of Management and the Sacking of the Night
Shift: Power-coercive Strategies or Machiavellian Management?” has helped me in identifying
the different issues that are associated with the dismissal of the night shift due to the manner in
which the constant machine breakdowns and repairs have affected the smooth functioning of the
businesses. The management of the organizations and the changes that are planned by the same
is based on the proper identification of the leadership attributes, which will be helping the
organizations to bring in changes in the systems of the business (García-Morales, Jiménez-
Barrionuevo and Gutiérrez-Gutiérrez 2012). I believe that the management of the organizations
should have undertaken an interaction with the employees. The communication with the
employees would have helped the management of the organization to facilitate changes in the
systems of the business without compromising the job role of the people through the dismissal of
the night shifts.
The identification of the needs of the organization is facilitated through brainstorming the
different strategies in the functioning of the business. The strategies help in maintaining the
progression of the business without compromising the job roles of the people working in the
organization. I believe that the implementation of the Transformational servant leadership
could have brought about changes in the systems of the business through ensuring the
involvement of the workforce in the business operations (Dumdum, Lowe and Avolio 2013). It
would have helped the businesses to identify the issues that were faced by the employees and
thereby bring in changes in the systems.
