Organization and Management

Question: Discuss about the Organization and Management. Answer: Introduction: A strong management is the backbone of a successful organization. The management implements strategic decisions to manage the organization and employees. Pakn Save is a private subsidiary retail in New Zealand. The organization was started in New Zealand in 1995 (paknsave.co, 2016). The organization generally sells food, grocery items and regular food grains. This organization maintains a low pricing strategy and gets the subsidy from the New Zealand government. The managers have implemented an operational plan, strategic plan and implemented three timing controls such as feed forward, concurrent and feedback. 3.1 Development plan for the department: As an operational manager, I have the responsibility to implement the process of planning, designing and operation of the sales system and subsystems. I have the responsibility to implement new employee management plan, promotional plan, facility design, quality assurance and maintenance planning and inventory control. I have planned to implement a one year improvement strategy for the Pakn Save. I have divided the total time in different parts and planned to implement different planning such as employee management planning, promotional planning and quality assurance. I have planned to take 4 months for implementing the new structure of staffs. I have discussed with the human resource management about the present staff structure. I have observed that the staffs are maintained by the floor managers in the retail stores. Therefore, I will implement the leadership strategy and reframes the staffs schedule in the organization. Therefore, on the basis of the plan the staffs will be managed by the team leaders. After that, I shall implement the marketing plan in 5 months. I shall implement the sales forecast and prepare a production budget. I shall implement the review of the product prices of other retail organizations. I shall request the New Zealand government to increase the subsidy so that the organization is able to maintain a low price structure. I shall arrange the meeting with the marketing team and give them some idea about the new marketing strategy. I shall advice the marketing team to increase the customer relations through the online marketing strategy. I expect that the quality assurance planning will take at least 3 months to implement. I shall revise quality standards and measure the actual performance of the organization. I shall arrange the meeting with the Quality analysis team and understand the current standard of foods and groceries. I shall select a quality standard and implement the corrective action for improving the standard of the food items. 3.2 Strategic planning: As a Chief Executive (CE), I have planned to implement the new strategic planning for the organization. Therefore, I shall follow a particular planning process for implementing the strategic plan. Firstly, I shall collect the facts and incidents from all stakeholders, customers and competitors. After that, I shall implement the SWOT analysis and evaluate the weakness and threats. I shall observe the reviews of the stakeholders input and SWOT analysis. I shall define 3-4 key statements from the SWOT analysis. I shall take the help of the strategic matrix and implement different combinations such as opportunity versus strength, opportunities versus weakness, threats versus strength and threat versus opportunity. After that, I shall define strategies based on the objectives, short and long term goals and operational plans. Finally I shall implement the final review and adjustment on the new strategic plan. 3.3 The purpose of the strategic and operational plan: The purpose of the operational plan is to implement the strategic plan. The operational manager will provide the operational plan to implement a clear picture of the task and activities of the staffs structure, marketing plan and quality standards improvement (Hubbard, Rice Galvin, 2014). The operational strategy will improve the strategic plan of the organization. The strategic planning will be implemented by the Chief Executive (CE) for clarifying the outcomes of Pakn Save and find out the changes (Jones, 2014). The CE will implement the broad strategies that will enable the organization to achieve the outcomes. The CE will identify the ways to measure progress of the organization (Rice, 2013)). 3.4 Implementation and Control: The operational manager (OM) and the Chief Executive have planned to implement the feed forward control system for Pakn Save (Zhang Wang, 2014). The OM and CE have already observed that the business operation of the organization requires many supportive staffs to approach the customers about the food products. The feed forward control system will regulate the resources like employees, raw materials and capital for the organization (Yang et al., 2014). The Operational Manager and Chief Executive have planned to implement the concurrent control to identify the preventing problems in the organization as they occur. The OM and CE has planned to implement a strategy to increase the contract with the suppliers (Wu, Su Shi, 2014). Therefore, the store managers will bring the food items and grains from the suppliers whenever it necessary. The Operational manager and the Chief executive will implement the Feedback control system in the organization (Zhang Wang, 2014). The operational manager and Chief executives will evaluate the feedback of the customers and the staffs and implement the strategy to improve the development plan and strategic plan. Conclusion: The operational manager will implement the operation plan of 1 year to implement the employee management planning, promotional planning and quality assurance. The Chief Executive will implement the new strategic planning for Pakn Save. The Operational manager and Chief Executive will implement the feed forward control, concurrent control and feedback control for Pakn Save. Reference list: Hubbard, G., Rice, J., Galvin, P.
