Strategic Analysis: Building a Sustainable Organisation Case Study

This case study analysis examines the complexities of building a sustainable organization, drawing upon the case studies of Jan Wurzbacher and Christoph Gebald. It evaluates their roles as sustainable strategic managers, applying strategic business management tools such as OKR, SWOT, and PESTLE analysis to their business venture focused on carbon emission reduction. The analysis further discusses the economical and ethical dilemmas faced by strategic leaders in balancing long-term sustainability goals with short-term financial objectives, including maintaining cash flow, ensuring honesty and justice, and managing high employment levels. The report concludes that environmental considerations require careful navigation with government agencies, and that sustainable organizations are those that operate for the long-term benefit of society.

INTRODUCTION
A sustainable organization is a type of business that wants to be around for a long time
and build a big, well-known business in the market. A business must navigate a variety of
channels and issues in order to build a sustainable organization. It is not easy to become a
sustainable organization, and the goods or facilities that the business offers should be in high
demand for longer period of time or the company must continue to innovate to meet customer
demand. The two case studies by Jan Wurzbacher and Christoph Gebald offers as the foundation
for the following report (Alonzo, and et.al., 2022). Their business venture helps as the base for
the report.
MAIN BODY
Task 1
Critically evaluating the roles and responsibilities of Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher as
sustainable strategic managers. Discussing the tools and concepts of strategic business
management that are applicable to the issues of sustainability -
Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher described a business project in which the CO2
they utilise to produce from the situation was their product. The environmental concentration of
carbon dioxide is rising rapidly at the moment. One of the most pressing environmental issues in
the world is this, which is accelerating climate change. Their goal was to eliminate one percent
of the world's carbon emissions from the environment and threat it can limit the chances of
creating new market as in an effective and as well as an efficient manner (Cooper, and Nelson,
2022). But because it is a complex matter, they need to get authorisation from the administration
and another organizations that are related to the environment and make sure that their work will
be beneficial to them and that it will not maximise but rather decline the effluence from the
contiguous environment. In the subsequent sections, Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher's
various parts and tasks as supportable leaders are discussed -
 Considering the health of its employees and other people living nearby – The carbon
releases might release contaminants that are harmful to the well-being of such on the
project's buildings or in the neighbouring environment. Such respective could be the
company's workers or ordinary individuals who live or perform neighbouring. It is the
manager’s duty to offer them with vital equipment and conduct regular checks on them.

 Predicting the future of the organisation - Management that functions for an extended
time and continue to evolve are considered to be sustainable. They must analyze the
market demand for their product now and in the future in order to be a sustainable
manager and keep developing it to better satisfy customers as in an effective and as well
as an efficient manner.
It follows effective aspects section of strategic organisation in relation of sustainability are as
explained below –
 OKR – A framework called Objective and Key Results (OKR) is used to set goals and
keep track of the results (Lang, 2022). It is used to look at a company's potential and
current performance to find ways to improve it Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher
can utilise such tool in their supportable organisation by setting aims to collect a lot of
C02 from the atmosphere and build a wider level of the profitable organisation that also
helps keep the atmosphere safer and strong as in an effective and as well as an efficient
manner. It should evaluate the wider level of outcome, associate them to the anticipated
outcomes, and measures several deviances at the end of the operating sections or period
designated for objective conclusion as in an effective and as well as an efficient manner.
The company benefits from these deviations in their strategic management and planning
for the future as in an effective and as well as an efficient manner.
SWOT analysis – It is one of the most an effective aspect with suitable level of strategic
tools for analysing a managerial internal and as well as external business situation. In relation
to the associated sustainable business, its components are described below –
 Strengths – These are the strong points that give a company a competitive
advantage. The fact that Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher have access to
substantial funds that they can use in their businesses and bring their concepts to
life is one of their strengths.
 Weakness – These are the drawbacks that prove to be detrimental to businesses.
The weakness of the corresponding business is a lack of industry and product
knowledge (Marouni, 2022).
 Opportunities – This factor includes the areas in which a company can capitalize
on opportunities for expansion. Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher are

developing a brand-new since they face no rivals, this presents a significant
opportunity to establish a new market and serve a large number of customers.
 Threats – the elements that increase an organization's risk of failure or danger.
The government poses a threat to the related business because it may impose rules
and regulations that limit the business's power or even prevent it from operating
because of environmental concerns and because of this threat it can limit the
chances of creating new market as in an effective and as well as an efficient
manner.
PESTLE analysis – This is a tool for strategic management that looks at a business's
external environment by looking at various of such components, which make up the
contraction and are the most influential outwards business situation factors as in an
effective and as well as an efficient manner (Mujumdar, and Mane, 2022). In relation to
the associated business enterprise, its components are discussed in the following points -
 Political factor – These are things that related to do with politics and the
government. Due to their sensitive concern for the environment in which they
work, the related business industry has a significant impact on this factor. They
may be required to adhere to additional rules and regulations imposed by the
government. Otherwise threat it can limit the chances of creating new market.
 Economical factor – These are things that affect the budget of the nation where
the company is based. The linked business is influenced by a sort of factors that
cover service level, revenue source, demand and as well as supply.
 Social factor – These are market related factors relating to market participants
Because they are customers in the end, the people or society have a lot of power
and can easily have an effect on a business as in an effective and as well as an
efficient manner. Despite the fact that the related company does not directly
provide services to society's citizens, no other company will collaborate with
them due to public acceptance.
 Technological factor – These are the factors related to innovation and
technology. As a plant that releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, high-
tech, and cutting edge machinery is required to safely capture and store the gas so
that it can be sold and used in the future. To avoid problems, the innovations

should be checked and updated frequently as in an effective and as well as an
efficient manner (Shaukat, and et.al., 2022). There must be a patterned on the
technologies for the linked task in the marketplace and an analysis of how the task
can be more suitable and proper because the machines keep getting better.
 Legal factor – These are the factors related to legal bodies that create rules and
ensure that they are followed as expected. While running their business as
entrepreneurs, Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher must obey to a variety of
legal requirements. Legal authorities have the authority to impose fines or waive
other penalties on rulebreakers who break these rules and regulations.
 Environmental factor – These factors include elements related to the
environment Because environmental pollution is getting worse and is having a
negative impact on people's health, these factors are becoming increasingly
important Because the project in question has a lot to do with the environment, it
needs to take into account a variety of environmental factors to ensure that they
are not polluting the environment but rather improving it. So threat it can limit the
chances of creating new market as in an effective and as well as an efficient
manner (Theodoraki, Dana, and Caputo, 2022).
Task 2
Discussing the economical and ethical dilemmas that strategic leaders face in the process of
balancing long and short-term goals -
The leaders and managers of a company must deal with an infinite number of different
problems. People don't know what's going to happen in the near future because life is
unpredictable, and leaders face a variety of problems because they have complete control over
their business as in an effective and as well as an efficient manner. Ethical problems are those
that are linked to the wellbeing of culture and understanding or satisfying the manner of roles as
a forerunner of an industry with a large sort of workers and whose goods or service a variety of
customers consume, while financial problems are selections that are linked to economic issues
such as monetary aspects. The following points address a few of these monetary and moral
quandaries:

 Maintaining the cash flow – One of a leader's most stimulating dilemmas is managing
the money and other sections that aid the business while functioning at wider level. The
various options in this regard include how much cash to keep on hand (since some cash is
required to cover daily miscellaneous expenses), how much money to deposit in the bank,
and how much money to invest with the various sources as in an effective and as well as
an efficient manner.
 Honesty – A company's customers and employees expect it to be honest with them.
Customers and employees must be informed about the company's procedures, raw
materials, and all relevant individuals and details. People in the market appreciate work
that is transparent as in an effective and as well as an efficient manner. Domino's, for
instance, makes its pizza in a transparent manner and lets customers see how it is made to
guarantee its quality.
 Justice – Working employees may have disagreements in the company's premises that
must be resolved and effectively resolved. Anywhere and at any time, frauds can occur.
The leaders have a responsibility to resolve these differences in a way that benefits both
the parties involved and those watching (Velazquez, Fox, and Chatha, 2022). There must
be justice, and partiality should not be practiced because it will harm those who are
subject to partiality. It could have a direct impact on employee turnover and damage the
company's goodwill.
 High employment level – It effectively have an impact of several level of the number of
individuals who are eager to join the company. When there are higher term of service in a
country or region, management have rarer term of alternative from which to choose, and
since there is a lot of competition for employees, there will also be a higher demand for
salaries. It may be advantageous to the nation and its individuals, but not for the
organisation as in proper and as well as suitable manner.
CONCLUSION
From the above mentioned report it has been concluded that, work that has a positive or
negative impact on the environment requires permission from the relevant government agencies

because the environment is a sensitive issue. Companies that operate for a considerable amount
of time and benefit society are considered sustainable organizations. Strategic leaders face a
variety of challenges as they work to establish a sustainability company with wider level of
effectiveness and efficiency.
