You
are the Assistant Vice President of Carpetbagger's Chemicals, a sixty-year-old
company that provides chemicals used to create and install indoor and outdoor
carpet. Your company has thrived on a
"good old boy" network based on relationship selling and personal
delivery using a fleet of company-owned, light-utility trucks driven by members
of your sales force.
Recently, your competition is
threatening from several directions.
Other chemical companies, using national and regional transportation
carriers and Internet sales, are offering faster turn-around and lower
prices. In addition, carpet made in Asia
and
The board of directors of Carpetbagger's Chemicals
recently hired a new president to help turn the company around. He has determined that it is necessary to
create radical change to make Carpetbagger's Chemicals profitable again. These changes will ultimately affect the very
culture of your organization. There are
three (3) top priorities for the new president.
1.
Retool
the sales force to be more aggressive.
2. Move delivery of products from the sales
force to independent national transportation carriers (which will negate the
need for the fleet of light utility trucks for the sales force).
3. Create a new, international sales division
to explore marketing Carpetbagger's Chemicals to carpet makers in other
countries.
Develop a plan to
support this new strategy through human resources.

templates from http://www.office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/)

tightwad, so keep your costs low.
