...Vision Change Analysis By: HR 587 Managing Organizational Change K Milburn 4 June 2011 In business a vision is a well articulated view of how a company sees itself as well as an image of how a business wishes model itself during the long-term future. Business visions should be realistic and perceived as accomplishable by the people within an organization. The president of Mentor Graphics; Gerard Lageler (1992), may have had a point when he said “Grand, abstract visions can be too inspirational and that is why the company may wind up making more poetry than products.” Over the years Mentor Graphics changed its vision numerous times but eventually returned to a model that reverberated the goals of their original vision. A vision statement should not just be words to post on a wall but serve the function of defining an organization’s values and their purpose. The vision statement should inspire employees to achieve the goals of the company and though achieving those goals prove to why they should do business with the organization. Initially Mentor Graphics’ unarticulated vision was to “Build Something That People Will Buy” and in the end they found that the vision a company starts with is generally the best to follow. Over the years Mentor Graphics saw fit to continuously change their vision to match their new goals, eventually creating vision statements that where more and more grandiose, inspirational but also indistinguishable to the true...

...done because he wants to do it.– Dwight D. Eisenhower The word "leadership" can bring to mind a variety of images. For example: • A political leader, pursuing a passionate, personal cause. • An explorer, cutting a path through the jungle for the rest of his group to follow. • An executive, developing her company's strategy to beat the competition. Leaders help themselves and others to do the right things. They set direction, build an inspiring vision, and create something new. Leadership is about mapping out where you need to go to "win" as a team or an organization; and it is dynamic, exciting, and inspiring. Yet, while leaders set the direction, they must also use management skills to guide their people to the right destination, in a smooth and efficient way. In this article, we'll focus on the process of leadership. In particular, we'll discuss the "transformational leadership" model, first proposed by James MacGregor Burns and then developed by Bernard Bass. This model highlights visionary thinking and bringing about change, instead of management processes that are designed to maintain and steadily improve current performance. Note: Leadership means different things to different people around the world, and different things in different situations. For example, it could relate to community leadership, religious leadership, political leadership, and leadership of campaigning groups. This article focuses on the Western model of individual leadership, and discusses...

...Case Analysis | July 26 Sanyo’s Think GAIA Vision and Turnaround Efforts | Strategic ManagementSubmitted By:Abhijit Chandra PandaAditi SinghVidhi SureliaVinay S.M. | Group 7, January 2011 Batch | Case Analysis Sanyo’s ‘Think GAIA’ Vision and Turnaround Efforts* *Source: ICMR Center of Management Research This case elicits a vision that Sanyo adopted and how it went about implementing it. The primary reason for this was to have a turnaround – revive the business areas that were lowering the bottom line for the company. The scale of the company was massive and the old vision did not give a direction to compete in the market that Sanyo faced. The earthquake that destroyed the company’s uninsured semiconductor plan pushed it further into losses. A restructuring was the need of the hour! Amid such lack of coordination, Tomoyo Nonaka, a journalist, was appointed Executive Chairman to be the flag bearer to the diverse businesses of Sanyo. What followed the establishment of an environment friendly vision of ‘Think GAIA’ were the intended turnaround efforts undertaken under the leadership of Nonaka. The analysis of the case that follows showcases the various factors that led to the need of the turnaround, the measures taken as a part of the strategy formulation and the implementation process. As students of the Strategic Management, we intend to learn as to which are the factors that led the current situation in which Sanyo is (as dated in the case) – those that are internal...

...Strategic Plan, Part II: SWOTT Analysi University of Phoenix BUS/475 Integrated Business Topics Strategic Plan, Part II: SWOTT Analysis The SWOTT analysis is one of the most effective tools used by companies in forming a strategic plan. SWOTT is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats, and Trends that face a company.
