HAZE: DISCUSSION WEEK 1- DELIVERY 3

Discussion Week 1- Delivery

Every company has a responsibility to ensure that it operates on a sustainable model (Haag, Kellmann, & Schmidt, 2016). In this light, therefore, the circumstances of the MacArthur and Associates demand the same become successful by initiating some necessary changes.

Development of Managerial Competence

The managers in any business have to be competent enough to ensure that the business meets its strategic objectives. As seen in this case, both the CEO and the CFO are members of the family with no prior experience in the management of the business, based on the fact that they were all raised on the farm. Therefore, it would be imperative to engage people who are competent in management to take the company a step further.

Leading Organizational Change on Compensation

Fair compensation is the way to go if MacArthur and Associates are to realize any meaningful success. This is a double-loop learning strategy because the company may be complacent in looking at this strategy yet it may be costing it because of the movement of the employees. To get a stable organization, it will pay to ensure that the best employees are retained, and this can only happen if the employees are motivated, for instance through adequate reimbursement (Haag, Kellmann, & Schmidt, 2016).

Creation of an All-Inclusive Model

The employees must feel like part of the organization (Mateescu, Olaru, Sârbu, & Surugiu, 2016). This means that the workers at the MacArthur and Associates should be able to identify with the company. The all-inclusive model will ensure that most of the workers do not get engaged on a temporary basis, rather, the company needs to increase the number of the permanent employees, given that it operates in several states yet only has 500 full-time workers.

In summary, MacArthur and Associates is a company that needs change to increase its prospects. For example, it should relook at its compensation model, create an all-inclusive business, and improve managerial competence.
