    Section: B



    DASHMAN COMPANY
    (1) SITUATION ANALYSIS

    This is a detailed case analysis of Dashman company. Dashman company is into
    manufacturing of the armed force of U.S. The company is good at its work and has expanded to 20
    plants which work as autonomous bodies. In efforts to avoid the shortfall of raw materials required
    by the plant, Mr.Post is appointed to co-ordinate the purchasing activity by Mr.Menson, the
    president of the company and Mr.Larson an old employee of the company is now appointed as
    assistant to Mr.Post.
    Mr.Manson is a dodger. He recruited Mr.Post to avoid the shortfall of important raw
    materials at the time of world war. Till now he had encouraged plant managers to work as an
    autonomous body. Just after appointing Mr.post, even before introducing him to the company
    culture, he asked him to solve the problem. Mr.post decides to centralize the system by making
    some structural changes as plant executives need approval of the head office.
    Mr.post is experienced. He works in same pattern which reflects from the way he takes
    decisions. Mr.Larson suggested him to take the proposal personally to the executives as he has been
    working in the company for long time and knows almost all the executives personally. Mr.post
    lacks communication skills which can be seen when he refuses the suggestion of his assistant and
    writes letters to the executives regarding the serious decision that they have to inform him about
    purchase contracts. He is not result oriented, he has not taken any follow up of his decision even
    after six weeks. The plant executives were used to decentralization and resistant to change. the
    executives took Mr.post's decision as suggestion and followed their usual routine.
    Mr.Larson who worked in same decentralized culture suggested Mr.Post an effective way to
    implement the change for company's growth and effective change. After his suggestion was
    rejected he kept silence which resulted in ineffective change.


    (2)PROBLEM STATEMENT

    The problem lies in leadership skills and style of Mr.post and also the way of his approach was not
    reliable to others.
