Answer 1
Organizations have complex systems, according to which the operations are
conducted. In this context, new government legislations imply restrictions on the business,
especially the products, which are harmful for the public health. As a matter of specification,
such new legislations alter the business outlook. Reference can be cited of the alignments of
the business model, which is creativity oriented, setting grounds for the introduction of the
products with organic ingredients (Cavalcante, 2014). Along with this, the process of
marketing at the national and international levels would also undergo a change. In case of the
modus operandi, the logistics of preparing products would undergo radical transformations in
terms of maintaining the quality of the products until it reaches the customers. According to
the new legislation, manufactured products would undergo lab tests and quality checks after
production and before supplying to the customers. Whelan-Berry and Somerville (2010) is of
the view that for capturing the value through the newly introduced products with organic and
healthy ingredients, the target segmentation needs to be appropriate, so that the sales revenue
and profit margin can be enhanced.
Answer 2
The stakeholders are the most affected ones from the changes imbibed into the
organizational processes. By enforcing new legislations, the managers are compelled to alter
the existing business models. They indulge in meetings for deciding on the ways for
persuading the other staffs for the change. It is the employees, who are trained in a different
manner, which is mostly accepted in a negative manner. Even the materials supplied to the
suppliers undergo transformations. Lack of strategic planning in this context is harmful for
coping up with the change for maintaining the market position (Graetz and Smith 2010). One
of the most affected would be the budget, which is not revised, change cannot be imbibed.

Answer 3
At the initial stage of the enforcement of the legislations, the employees would show
resistances, which would compel the management to request for some time to come up with
the methods of embracing the change in the operations. In this context, the government would
review the report of the organizations like Nestle and if it is stable, time allocation would not
be a problem. During this time, Mayfield, (2014) highlights that the business model would be
revised along with the budget, training methods, value proposition and others. In this process,
conflicts between the employees and the managers would be inevitable. Not conducting
internal resource and capability analysis would also degrade the relationship with the
suppliers. This approach is detrimental in terms of producing the food products with healthy
and organic ingredients.
Answer 4
At the initial stage, I would ensure that the stakeholders, especially the employees and
the clients are informed about the change through effective communication channels like
social media and email marketing. This approach would reduce the chances of conflicts and
discriminations and misunderstanding. Along with this, I would also ensure that the standards
and protocols of the ethical code of conduct are followed in convincing the employees
towards the change. There would be no kind of pressurization on the employees. Instead,
conscious approach would be exposed towards ensuring that the employees are provided with
adequate motivation and encouragement for embracing the change (Whelan-Berry and
Somerville 2010). As a result of this approach, quality would be generated in the
manufacturing process of the products, enhancing the brand image.
