...Nathan Writing Assignment-1 Strategic Design at Dynacorp 1. If you were on the Dynacorp task force, what would be your first choice for an alternative design? What would be your second choice?. Answer: If I am on the Dynacorp task force, my first choice for an alternative design would be front /back structure of strategic design. This structure divides the organization into two parts such that the back end products which include engineering, manufacturing and the logistics and the front end is faced by the marketing and sales division. As Dynacorp is spread across the US and as well as the world, this front/back structure will also support the various divisions spread across the globe. Each country where Dynacorp wants to expand itself can have its marketing and sales division and the manufacturing division can be located in a country where the production costs would be as lower as possible. This would be an advantage by lowering the production costs and increasing the profit of Dynacorp. The marketing division, which becomes the back end of the structure, can address the various issues faced by the Dynacorp, with one major issue of handling the change from dealing with the direct customers to the consulting firms with special practices in ITC. This can be coordinated with the engineering and the production divisions, which in turn spread across the globe. With the advancement in the information exchange systems, the communication between the divisions can be...

...portion of this growth is their first strategic objective. Because their competitors are relocating manufacturing to developing economies, Eldora is faced with allowing manufacturing cost to become a competitive disadvantage, and avoiding this is a second objective. Finally they greatly benefit from their relationship with the Italian manufacturer Rinaldi because it not only provides valuable intelligence but also access to European markets. Maintaining this relationship is the third strategic objective. In short Eldora needs to find a way to succeed in the growing Asian market while keeping their manufacturing costs competitive without damaging their relationship with Rinaldi. In order to achieve these objectives, Eldora should strongly consider one of two options. Either they should move only their manufacturing to reduce labor costs or they should move their marketing and product development teams along with manufacturing. The reason to move all three departments is because it allows Eldora to maintain their competitive advantage of a lean, flexible manufacturing system created by the proximity of those three departments. Modern communications reduce the inefficiency of maintaining distant operational centers but it isn’t eliminated. Eldora would likely be better served by physically separating manufacturing from the other two departments and off-shoring manufacturing without making any unnecessary changes to the marketing and engineering departments. While their manufacturing...

...and marketing funds were used for two semiannual home and garden trade shows and the annual builders trade show. The sales generated at these trade shows contributed to a large portion of their revenue. The executive team at Clark had previously attempted to implement project management but the attempt failed due to discord between the marketing and engineering departments. Project management failed to receive support from functional team members, line managers, and the procurement manager. The executive council mandated a second attempt to implement project management, the vice presidents of the marketing and engineering departments reluctantly agreed to participate. Senior management hired an external consultant to aide in the process and the consultant conducted interviews with both departments to uncover the roots of the discord. The engineering department felt overloaded with work and that the marketing department did not understand that the engineering department does more work than just developing new products. The engineering department also felt that often times marketing hindered their process and were not conscious about the engineering department’s timeline. The engineering department felt that many problems rooted from the marketing department not having a clear picture of their product requirements in the beginning, which led to many rounds of changes that delayed the product development process even more.
