responsibility and accountability for the jobs. It adopts the culture where it unifies the
employees into a team and improves the business (Groysberg, Lee, Price and Cheng, 2018).
In order to retain the employees and sustain the competitive advantage, the company is
required to develop an effective reward system and incentives for motivating the employees
and fulfilling their needs. In contrast to the increasing complexities, the globalization of
business also creates immense opportunities for the company to expand its business and hire
globally talented employees. It creates the pressure to consider the macro-environment
factors and accordingly develop the strategies for the successful operation of the company
(Voigt, Buliga and Michl, 2017).
The whole organization
Tesla adopts the innovative problem-solving culture and competes in the automobile industry
through its mission of making continuous innovations and develops profitable solutions. The
operations of the company are also affected by the influence of power and politics. The
involvement of government and organization culture affects decision making and pressurizes
the company to make continuous innovations in its business process. The new rules and
regulations imposed by the government develop the need to ensure more transparency in
operations and be ethically responsible for the environment (Alghalith, 2018).
It is analyzed that Tesla maintains high standards for the employees, directors and officers. It
maintains sound corporate governance and creates the obligation to follow all the set
procedures and standards. The guidelines are modified on a timely basis and in the best
interest of the company. Through this obligation, the company is able to conduct the business
with full authenticity and ethics (Teece, 2018).
