INTRODUCTION
Organizations should redefine the way work gets done and create innovative talent ecosystems
that build engaged, enabled and agile workforce and as organizations face the future, we know
that every organization is different. Each has a unique history, culture, leadership style and
capability set in its employees. Tesla, Inc. (formerly Tesla Motors, Inc.), is an American
automotive and energy company based in Palo Alto, California. The company specializes
in electric carmanufacturing and, through its SolarCity subsidiary, solar panel manufacturing. It
operates multiple production and assembly plants, such as Gigafactory near Reno, Nevada, and
its main vehicle manufacturing facility at Tesla factory. This report covers questions such as
impact of globalization, employees of the company, reflection of the group and personal
reflection. Company hires those people who want to work with them for achieving their vision
rather than just for a decent package to take home.
TASK 1
Effectiveness of the organization
Spotlight of Tesla's Culture
Mission of Tesla is to manufacture electric cars as they are the future of the environment
and they want to achieve the affordability and accessibility that is the aim of the company. They
want to make the world towards a more sustainable approach. The company does not generate
huge profits. They even don't provide them with a handsome package so that they can attract
talented employees. They only work with people who want to work towards their mission. Even
the values of the company are based on their mission and that is making the products sustainable
with the help of innovation. (Rees and Porter, 2015.)
Employees at Tesla
Elon Musk has fulfilled his promise and that is to bring autonomous cars and cars which
runs on battery. It has helped the company to increase their value than Ford but the thing is there
have been a lot of complaints on the work load of workers that the company is not being able to
handle. According to reports because of the aggression of the CEO towards reaching his goals
more than 100 times an ambulance have been called in the company because they have gone
through seizures, dizziness, breathing problems, pains in chest and over that some of them has

even fainted while working in the company. There are over 10,000 workers working in their
facility and even Musk has admitted about the issue of hard work and work load but he has
assured that every measure has been taken in the facility to cope up with the health issue of the
workers. They have improved lot of their equipment due to this reason. The company is loosing
money in the market and it cannot be compared with giants such as general motors as they don't
even produce 2 per cent of their production.
Key Topics
Impact of Globalization on Tesla-
It has been easy for the company as globalization allows them to export their products
other than US which is ultimately beneficial for all as currently they are the only manufacturers
in the world who have been able to produce cars which don't release carbon and other harmful
emissions. It is helping to save the environment and it is the future of the automobile industry.
Even after they have bring the advancement in the field of technology and the whole industry
their numbers just don't add up. It is because they don't have the reach that their competitors have
in the market and they sell their products online they don't have any dealerships which limits
their sale against their competitors. Apart from putting the focus on technological area they also
need to focus on increasing their reach. Still the hub of the automotive industry is in Detroit US.
It has helped many companies including Tesla to increase their production and excluding Tesla it
has helped other countries to increase the level of production in various countries. This has
surely increased the scope for Tesla to enhance and expand their operations but they have to wait
for the development of other countries as others don't have battery charging points or stations
available in their country which rises the issue of advancement. (Winter and et.al., 2016)
The rational and social organization
Tesla is considered to be as rational and social organization as they are the first ones in
the market who has adapted the change and has successfully implemented it. The company is
putting a lot of pressure on their workers and increasing the load so that they can achieve their
orders and task on time. They are improving on that aspect by increasing the awareness of time
so that they can meet with their goals. They take tasks which requires special skills and expertise
in that area. It helps the company to increase the efficiency in reaching the goals. (Petch, 2019. )
