‘Yellow Pumpkin’ is an Italian restaurant in Delhi, well known
for its fresh and authentic dishes including pasta, pizza, etc. It has
been serving its customers for the last $\displaystyle 20$ years. It had been winning
various awards and recognition for its services. During Covid-$\displaystyle 19$, it
suffered huge losses. As the effect of Covid reduced and the
business started picking up, the management of ‘Yellow Pumpkin’
also decided to go in for home delivery service to increase its
revenue and profit. For this they needed support of their workers to
work overtime. ‘Yellow Pumpkin’ entered into an agreement with
its workers to put in extra hours without additional payment to
revive it out of losses. In return, they promised to increase the
wages of the workers when the mission is accomplished. The workers put in extra hours as committed and in just three months,
the restaurant’s business turned around and it became profitable
again. ‘Yellow Pumpkin’ honoured its commitment and not only
increased the wages of the workers but also gave them bonus as an
additional incentive. Identify and explain the principle of
management followed by Yellow Pumpkin.
