...Gap Analysis: Global Communications Albert Einstein said, “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.” This concept is one that must be taken into consideration by Global Communications when deciding on how to best overhaul/steam line the company to be able to produce a quality product. The end goal is to become a competitive powerhouse within the global marketplace. This will negate the certain demise of GC due to a lack support from stakeholders, insuring that the company does not have to shut down completely. Such an overall will demand careful attention to all stakeholders involved. Global Communications must take the time needed to get to the root of the problem. Recovering from the current state of destruction will mean making decisions that may not be supported initially by all parties involved. It is in these areas that GC must strive to maximize the communication process of transmitting an effective message that the company understands the concerns and questions of each stakeholder. Furthermore, GC must strive to minimize the amount of noise that will act as barrier blocking the desired communication from achieving the goal of smooth transition and plan acceptance by all. (McShane,Von Glinow, 2005) Situation Analysis Issue and Opportunity Identification The decision to outsource work to India and Ireland has been made my Global Communications as an attempt to produce a better...

The future of the company depends on its ability to benchmark and outsource operations while effectively communicating the strategic plan in an ethical way. Like many of their competitors in this volatile industry, profit margin is shrinking, competition is intense, and the whole industry seems to be a losing bet on Wall Street. GC has fallen behind the telecommunication industry. GC feels the pressures of the industries and trying to keep up with its competitors while watching its stock prices fall. Yet the investors are giving GC pressure to correct the problem. GC needs to offer better or a new services than what their competitors are not providing to their customers. Simply put, Global Communications is not where it needs to be in terms of globally viable business opportunities and general profitability.

...In this paper I will attempt to help Gene One solve their current problems that they are experiencing as a result of poor planning by management with a new IPO strategy. Although I believe that they were looking out for the company’s/employees’ best interest, the lack of a solid game plan has led us to this point where the working relationship between management has failed. While attempting to uncover the optimal solution I will look at the factors that should be considered when evaluating all options. My hopes are to bring to light why one solution is better than the next as it relates to the vision and goals of the company. This will be done by examining evidence from outside sources that have been through similar situations. This solution will be centered on transformational leadership and organizational culture. By identifying the primary causes of the failed strategy’s implementation, I will dissect and attempt to salvage the IPO strategy that Gene One will still need to carry out. In reading this scenario, one thing obvious from the onset; the senior leadership team at Gene One is not all on the same page. Anytime there is a culture change within an organization there will be resistance by some to change. In the case of Gene One they are no more immune than any other company. Evidence of this could be seen from the interactions of Teri and Michelle at the 1st leadership meeting after the board’s approval of the IPO plan. “What’s the matter, Michelle? Not finding enough...

...Problem Solution: Global Communications MBA500 Deborah Elver August 27, 2005 Problem Solution: Global Communications This paper will apply the nine-step problem solving model to the scenario involving Global Communications. It will provide the background, define the problem, describe end-state goals, identify and analyze an alternative solution based on benchmarking, examine associated risks, provide an optimal solution and implementation plan, and evaluate the results. Situation Background (Step 1) Global Communications (Global), a telecommunications company, is faced with lack of consumer confidence and economic pressure. Senior management has developed an aggressive plan to hit the market with new services and an alliance with a satellite provider. They have also identified cost-cutting measures with hopes of increasing profits. In order for the plan to come to fruition, they will market on an international level with the goal of becoming a truly global resource. Subsequently, this development plan has created several challenges (UniversityElver, 2005). Issue Identification Several challenges or issues have been identified including—but not limited to—globalization and competition, building market share and alliances, reducing and relocating staff, outsourcing technical call centers to Ireland and India, and the lack of communication to Union and stakeholders. The lack of communication to Union and stakeholders regarding this initiative...
