ORGANISATION MANAGEMENT
PART-C
1. Identifying change requirements
As per the case study, it is seen that Australian manufacturing companies have the
highest production costs in the world, while the Australian factories have the lowest cost.
This needs to change as the reason behind the high rate of absenteeism is due to lack of
motivation of the workers. The employees remain de-motivated due to lack of production
costs. Hence, the changes that are required in APM are to cut down the high rate of
production costs and expand its territories. According to Hayes (2014), the changes in an
organisation are usually met with resistance from the employees. Hence, it is needed that the
managers manage to provide proper motivation before implementing the changes.
2. Developing strategic objectives
The organisation needs to recruit and select talented people that can help in ensuring
that the organisation gain success in the business. The people recruited need to meet the job
requirements that are presented to them. The recruitment needs to be based keeping in mind
the future prospects of the organisation (Hill, Jones and Schilling 2014). In order to enhance
the skills of the existing employees, it is needed to develop learning and development
sessions. This session needs to consist of the use of technology, understanding the policies of
the organisation and identifying benchmarks that can help in enhancing the opportunities of
the organisation.
3. Identifying stakeholder concerns
The potential problems that the organisation faces are the fact that due to cut losses,
the company may have to expand its entire operations in an overseas location. The prices of

the commodities will drop by 20%. Hence, the concern for the stakeholders is the loss in the
investment made in the company. This may affect the internal as well as external
stakeholders. Andriof et al. (2017) stated that such condition may be avoided by improving
the position of the factories.

5. Developing communication plan
The managers of APM need to communicate the changes with the employees by
organising a meeting in which the benefits of the changes need to be focused. The
presentation of the changes needs to be such that employees understand the need for change.
The managers need to use motivating words so that the employees do not feel discouraged
while implementing the changes. The desired results from the implementation of the changes
need to be brought forward. Employees can be encouraged to solve queries regarding the
changes that are taking place in the organisation.
