Question

From Problematic Situation to Case Scenario: (Please do not attempt to solve if you cannot answer all. Also, I am looking for a completely different answer!!!!).

Identifying a problematic situation that we have or are currently experiencing at our automobile industry work is as below – The motivation of direct report employees at the work place. The problem is that we as a functional leader, could not be able to maintain the motivation level of employees in my department.

The problem can be recreated that the employees are not motivated after a small discussion on the any of the functional topic and the contribution of employee in that topic / subject.

This looks to be our learning experience, because team management and team motivation is the first concept of learning for me and I prefer to learn on this subject as much as possible.

If we find it easier to recreate the details of our problematic situation using the names of real people, events, documents, and companies, please make sure that we change all names, at the appropriate time defined by us, so that anonymity is assured. This is the right approach because the actual details of the cas should be changed so that the original details can be maintained from leaking and can be saved to the extent of requirements to us.

The name of the real people, events, documents and companies needs to be kept confidential so that we can maintain the confidentiality and secrecy of the topic under discussion.

Confidentiality and secrecy are very important aspects for the information and needs to be ensured for the informations.

Answer the following questions in your own words after reviewing the material above.

1) Identify the major topic(s) of Operations Management your problematic situation focuses on in the context for your learning.

2) Rewrite your problematic situation by beginning your narration with the major OM areas behind the situation in your case. Once your opening statement of your case scenario is completed, complete your case scenario with the details of your problematic situation created above. Please make sure that all names, events, documents, and companies are hypothetical.

Explanation / Answer

1. The major problematic topics of operation management in the above text are – Lack of motivation in the direct report employees at the workplace. Even the employees are not motivated for a small discussion on any functional topic and their contribution in that. Team motivation is very important and therefore team members have to be communicated separately if not at once so that secrecy shall be maintained and problem should be discussed with each one. The events, people or documents which are disturbing them or creating problems have to be dealt separately.

2. My company is Information Technology Company and the major problematic situation we are facing today is the lack of support from lower and middle level employees in terms of improved learning and development. IT sector is a dynamic sector and companies involving in this sector needs their employees to be motivated for learning and changes all the time. If the employees are restricted to change then the companies will face problems. Many employees are facing lack of motivation to change because of lack of incentives, few employees are not interested in learning new things and restricted by nature, few are affected by team mates and events, etc. These are all the problematic topics faced by my company.
