1MANAGEMENT
Assuming, I have been appointed as the CEO of Scott Bicycle in US that has been
acquired through aggressive takeover by an organisation within the same industry. There
were certain issues associated with the cost reduction and manufacturing, cutting staffs and
while integrating the parent company’s employees into the new division (scott-sports.com,
2019). Based on the perspective of Scott Bicycle, it is important to undertake decision
making actions, furthermore ensure maintaining proper employee relationships and
integration, management of technological changes and globalisation and retaining the
existing skilled and knowledgeable talent pool too.
Employee relationships and integration
As a CEO of the organisation, it is important to manage the human resources properly
and improve the level of support provided to the employees to foster better decision making
and manage deep collaboration with them. As stated by Adams (2015), the various factors
including the involvement of skilled individuals, engaging external stakeholders, breaking
down the silos and obtaining varied ideas and opinions of team members are essential for
practising integrated thinking and to achieve better decision making ability. The hierarchy of
needs of employees is understood before planning for employee engagement strategies and it
can be based on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs that are to be focused on before continuing
to grow. The lower level needs should be fulfilled, i.e., survival and safety, which would be
possible with the creation of a positive work culture and then focus on needs at higher level
including belonging, self-actualisation needs, etc (Adams 2015). The engagement goals
should be discussed with them for making them feel realistic and providing both monetary
and non-monetary rewards could be beneficial for valuing individuals and ensure integration
in the new department.
