Founded by Mr. Wright, the company faces challenges due to increased competition, financial concerns related to high executive wages, and the need for improved human resource management practices. The presentation identifies key issues such as the growth of competitors and inefficient HR methods. It proposes measures to address these concerns, including reducing managerial pay bills, implementing effective performance appraisal systems (like 360-degree feedback and balanced scorecards), and potentially hiring new staff at lower wages. The presentation concludes with references to relevant literature on organisational behaviour and human resource development, offering a comprehensive analysis and recommendations for Home Foods to regain its competitive edge and enhance overall performance.
