2. INTRODUCTION
the reverse engineering into which any man made object or device is deconstructed
to reveal its design and architecture and gaining extract knowledge of object with
similar scientific research. The significant for analyzing the design and components
used by competitors. Performing this process organisation can collect all relevant
information regarding products. Reverse engineering is used to gain a competitive
advantage. Reverse engineering can be viewed to be the reverse of innovation. The
method of captivating something that has already been formed and reckoning out
how it was done is possibly innovation's converse.
Further, the process of contemplating innovation as reverse engineering, it
revolutionizes predictable reasoning. It is important to understand how a product or
service works, equally there is a need to understand their functionality as well.
The significant for analyzing the design and components used by competitors.
Performing this process organisation can collect all relevant information regarding
products. Reverse engineering is used to gain a competitive advantage. The
company can deduct all faulty codes in the software and replace them with better
codes.NO
A utility such as CENTLEC in the energy sector must initiate the procedures of
transposition, and transmitting themselves toward a more operative and successful
future, the toughest portion of which success is happening. The goalmouth of the
reverse engineered future is to realize the desired goal that each employee
concerned embraces an extreme honour.
There are five components for the suspension of beliefs to build the future and
release the past, the method that undertakes that the idea is possible and to great
extent is predictable assumption that it will materialize. The components include
vision, values, mission statement, and objectives to achieve the plan and finally
achievement strategy that eases getting the goals.Unclear
There is a serious misunderstanding of this topic. Kindly look at the course material.
3. Quality of leadership within CENTLEC to reverse
engineer the future of business
Effective managing needs leadership. It is possible that the function and behaviour
of the leadership and manager can be segregate. It is known that a manager can
plan, organise, direct and control different activities and operations of the business,
but, a leader helps employees to inspire their trust and confidence on him or her
with earning maximum co-operation from them to arrange their activities in an
organised manner. Specifically, managerial leadership is the behaviour that evokes
wilful follower action beyond that associated with the required performance on a job
(Jaques, 2017).
There are five types of power in the leadership, which helps the leader to feel that
they are a very good position in the organisation and have the right to influence
others behaviour in the venture. The five bases of power were identified by John
7

French and Bertram Raven in the early 1960's that are Coercive, Reward,
Legitimate, Expert, and Referent. Currently, in Centlec there are two powers in
the management leadership that are used as and when required not as a
principle namely: Reward and Expert. This has unfortunately no relevance to
REF
Company extract the relevant information from the product and mechanical
engineer apply that in development of software. As per Chen et.al., (2018) this
process minimise the cost of operation, which results in increasing overall
profitability of CENTLEC. Reverse engineering help in deducting faulty code in
software and replacing them with better code. This helps the company in
identifying the various alternative sources to identify the fault codes.
This source is used to reveal the technology adopted by competitors to produce
products. Hacker uses this process to crack software to remove their copy
prevention as stated by Morris (2016). This technique is adopted by CENTLEC to find
out the weakness in an operating system specifically for outage management to
address power outages. Reverse engineering is used to analyse information system
to identify the hidden aspects in the system. It helps in analysing the strength and
threats of Competitor Company. This process identifies weakness in existing
products and provides measures to improve that product.
Leadership play the major role in the growth and development of CENTLEC
Company. Leader guides their employees to successfully accomplish the goals of
the organisation. They are responsible for the failure and success of the
organisation as included by Coyle (2016). The leader should be confident enough in
order to ensure that employees follow their instructions. They should be
compassionate and motivate enough to achieve the target of the organisation. The
wise leader encourages employees to actively participate in the decision-making
process.
The future world of work will be very complex and will be responded according to
fluctuations. It is important for the individual to understand the circumstances a
situation of future work because the trends are changing and therefore it is
important for the individual to comply and use of managerial leadership skills.
Further, handing the situation with the help of one concept is kind of difficult if
compared to changing future circumstances (Bolívar, 2017).
CENTLEC company undergo various changes, in order to deal with changing
environment leaders should be flexible. They must adopt different leadership styles
based on situations, context. Leaders should welcome suggestion and ideas of
employees. They are responsible for every activity of the organisation. As
explained Ghassemi Toosi (2018) Leaders direct and instruct team members to
accomplish goals and target of the organisation. Compassion and commitment are
the strength of the good leader. The look after the requirement of team members in
order to motivate and direct them. Leaders adopt a leadership style according to
the situation. Team members expect that their leader should make a fair decision.

This process helps in describing the current business environment. Technology
plays major in this dynamic environment. This help in reaching large people in a
short time. Technology facilitates communicating with people living in different part
of the world. They can now easily share ideas and information with each other.
Multinational companies operate in a dynamic environment elaborated by Palm,
(2014). CENTLEC Company designs their products especially on metering or bulk
meters and services according to changing the attitude of customer's. Company
adopt various strategies to promote and sell their products in the market.
VUCA stands for volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. They are described as
follows:
 Volatile: the business environment is dynamic in nature, highly politicised
with the political interference, preferences of people and services change
continuously. Products such as domestic meters that have been
manufactured 10 years earlier already become obsolete because of change
in market trends. If a company desire to be successful in the long run they
have to accept changing culture. According to Baronio (2016) understanding,
various aspects of business is very essential for a leader. Leaders should be
aware of different alternatives and select the best from the available
alternatives. They are responsible for every activity related to business.
Leaders at CENTLEC should be aware of different alternatives and select the
best from the available alternatives. They are responsible for every activity
related to business. This is one of the most common gap and limitation that is
identified into leadership as leaders at company are not volatile they need to
adopt all sort of changes within their internal process.
 Uncertain: the business environment is unpredictable specifically in the
renewable energy and solar plants, in order to become successful leaders
should predict all favourable and unfavourable aspects of the business. As
per the Priyono, (2018) leaders should be interested in different cultures and
trends. They must motivate employees to recognize the different cultures
and backgrounds of their superiors. Economy experience two-phase inflation
and deflation. These changing trends negatively affect the stock market.
Business environment faces huge consequences because of globalisation.
Changes in economic structure affect events related to business. Changes in
economic structure affect events related to business of CENTLEC. The
environment within which CENTLEC is operating is completely uncertain as
anything could happen at any time so company must be ready for changes.
Leaders need to identify what are uncertain situation so that they could
effectively plan.
 Complex: CENTLEC organisation is affected complex environment forces.
Changing environment has resulted in increasing complexity, according to
Morales (2015). because of technology advancement leaders can deliver
information easily to their team members. The organisation implements
various techniques to promote their products and services. They use different
ways like print media, WhatsApp, Facebook and radio to reach maximum
people in short time. In the current business, situation advertisement has
9

also become very complex. Right advertisement help in delivering the right
information to the public. CENTLEC Company has identified high complexity
in all business process. CENTLEC Company has identified high complexity in
all business process so they should try to change their business strategies.
The vision of company that is dealing with foresightedness and insights must
be there within top management as well that would be dealing with
engagement of staff in way of selling future to stakeholders.
 Ambiguous: the relationship between organisation and customers are very
complex and unclear because of the ineffectiveness of the stakeholder
management plan. It is very significant for CENTLEC management to realise
trends in emerging market. CENTLEC company understand the cause and
effect relationship as most of the customers migrated to renewable energy
such as Photovoltaic. Leaders in CENTLEC analyse the attitude of the
customer's towards specific products and implement different strategies in
order to improve the services rendered. As per the Sugimoto (2017)
Company launch products according to the demand of customers. This will
lead to a high level of satisfaction among customer's. It is also required that
company is having leader who is having clear vision and foresightedness.
Thus it would helping them to be clear CENTLEC vision and mission
statement.
4. Organisation’s strategy sustain a desirable future
Organisations adopts various plans and strategies for sustainable growth and
development in future. CENTLEC targets to minimise the operating cost of
organisation and increase the overall profitability. This strategy helps in
achieving current growth without affecting the future resources of the
organisation. CENTLEC implement strong growth strategies in order to achieve
sustainable development. According to Morris (2016), many organisation fail to
achieve their desired target. CENTLEC implement strategies to increase overall
profitability and revenue.
Five pillars were identified to achieve sustain service delivery and financial
sustainability namely: You need to revisit the course material. Apply the Strategy
Management models and seek for gaps in CENTLE
 The operational and Capital optimisation that lead to a culture of
continuous improvement,
 Revenue Enhancement
 Capacitated and empowered workforce
 Optimal Service delivery
 Stakeholder engagement and good governance
It is important to grab the significant opportunity that helps in sustainable growth
and development of the organisation. Managers implement techniques to improve
the production process in order to minimise the cost of operation. CENTLEC has the
powerful and strong infrastructure. It is significant to have synchronization between
different organisational strategies to effectively utilise resources. Leadership skills
should be implemented at all level of management. Leaders identify strategies
related to the growth of customers. CENTLEC company divide customers according
10

to 70 % domestic and 30% business. CENTLEC adopt customer focus strategies.
They focus on the basics, capacitate staff with correct structures and systems.
Leaders evaluate the overall performance of the organisation. This includes setting
up of the benchmark. They measure the performance of employees against that set
benchmark. As per the Toosi, (2018). the reputation of the firm is dependent upon
the increasing rate of revenue. Leaders take the necessary steps to renew the
operational process. Strategies are designed according to existing customers
demand. Implementation of customers related strategies help in creating high
impact on the satisfaction level of customers.very little relevance to the set question
Reverse engineer is a process in which product or object is broken down to
analyse its components like the design, architecture. According to Gehl, (2014) this
engineering is also called back engineering. Reverse engineering help in extracting
knowledge from that specific object. This is a type of scientific research and it is
applicable in all fields like mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, etc.
CENTLEC Company performs this process for several reasons. Their main goal is to
analyse the design of the product and service of distributing electricity. This help
organisation to gain information about the product. The CENTLEC carry out this
process in order to perform competitor analysis. Reverse engineering help in
maintaining the vending system software.
The prevailing paradigm define this first in my organization is limiting my future
because the environment is highly controlled by the politicians and the
administrators are overpowered by the politics. CENTLEC is currently undergoing is
defined as power- oriented culture which is defined by (Harrison and Stokes (1992)
as an Organisational culture that is based on inequality of access to resources.
According to (Harrison, 1993) depicts the disadvantages and advantages of power
dimensions which reflects the negative and positive effects of this culture in the
organisation. You must apply the theory to CENTLEC please
Disadvantages Advantages
1. People? give the boss's wishes
the highest priority, even when it
interferes with important work.
2. People? are afraid to give bad
news to the boss who are the
people?.
3. People do not question the
leaders even when they are seen
to be wrong.
4. People with power break rules
with impunity and take special
1. Unifies individual effort behind the vision of
the leader.
2. Can move quickly in the market and make
rapid internal changes.
3. Leverages the knowledge, wisdom and
talent of the leader. How?
4. Can provide direction and certainty; reduce
conflict and confusion in times of
emergency.

privileges. Information is a source
of personal power and is
restricted to friends and allies.
5. People are promoted by being
loyal to those in power even
when they are not especially
competent.

These strategies assist both managers and leaders of the organisation. Strategies
are nothing?? but a guideline that helps in increasing profitably of the organisation.
CENTLEC divide customer's on the basis of their nature, attitude and preferences.
