soon began facing several problems like targets not met, conflicts among
managers, high labour turnover, etc. He hired a management consultant
to find out what was going wrong. The consultant conducted
investigations and gave the following observations :
(i)
In Production Department, workers were receiving instructions
from both, the Production Manager and the Marketing Manager.
As a result, there was a lot of confusion regarding tasks to be done.
(ii)
Promotions were given only to women employees. Other employees
did not get equal opportunities in the company to rise.
