...Process Improvement: What needs to be fixed, and what is working Problem Statement The primary issue is management engaging the use of bully style technics coupled with micro-management tasks which were driven irresponsibly. The actions resulted which contribute to the detriment the employee morale and high employee turnover. The primary concern is, how does one challenge an entrenched management to create a positive environment to a means that is or will be conducive to all. Analysis For a business model to work it must have installed a powerful yet engaging plan and that is “total quality management”, or TQM. The leadership must be very clear in its mission to achieve TQM. “Total Quality Management (TQM) today is a potent amalgam of many highly effective technical as well as behavioral improvement strategies and techniques. As such, it has evolved into one of the most powerful opportunities for effective planned change ever to take root in organizations”. Myers, (1993). Many programs may have this form of management. Unfortunately it will not produce as anticipated the way one would want. As stated by Capezo (1995), “Developing a plan for sustained commitment is critical to the success of TQM”. However, once TQM becomes functional the organization is able to take on the essential management style mentioned in an earlier statement, i.e. bully style, micromanagement, etc. As indicated, management has elements of bully style approaches, micro-management...

...For exclusive use IE Business School, 2014 Harvard Business School 9-197-040 Rev. February 19, 1998 Colorscope, Inc. Introduction Andrew Cha, the founder of Colorscope, Inc., a small, vibrant firm in the graphic arts industry, had seen his business change dramatically over the years. The rapid development of such technologies as desktop publishing and the World Wide Web as well as the consolidation of several major players within the industry had radically altered his company’s relative positioning on the competitive landscape. Preparing to celebrate the company’s twentieth anniversary in March 1996, Cha pondered the issues involved in moving Colorscope ahead. Company History Born in Anhui, China in 1938, Andrew Cha immigrated to the United States in 1967 to seek a better life. Originally planning to settle in New York City, where he would pursue his craft as a painter and his wife would attend New York University, his funds ran out in Los Angeles, forcing him to work as a cook and busboy in a downtown Chinese restaurant. Through fortune and hard work, however, Cha eventually found jobs that took advantage of his artistic skills in draftmanship and photography; a succession of promotions within one graphic arts company convinced him that his abilities would enable him to start his own business. Founded on March 1, 1976, Colorscope Inc. was established as a special-effects photography laboratory serving local advertising agencies in southern California...
