ACA 3
ALTERNATIVE COURSE OF ACTION• Freezing pay increases• Employing advertising to improve its image• Reengineering its process to improve efficiency• Engaging senior management to foster change
ACA 1: Execute Incremental Changes
• This may achieve objectives without laying off staff, at the same time encountering the least resistance both from XYZ’s senior management and employees.PROS
• The employees of XYZ may not be satisfied in the long run without pay increases, especially considering the strength in employee demand and liberalization of the labor market.
• About 30% of senior management are not going to be able to adapt to the new “service culture”, which would make implementing changes in organizational culture quite difficult.
• May take much time, which XYZ currently does not have since it is losing money at a rate of €750 per minute. By the end of the year, XYZ may become insolvent.

RECOMMENDATIONACA 2: Implement Sweeping Reforms within XYZ
1• Eliminate overstaffing in XYZ, beginning with top management dominated by the Air Force
officers down to the bottom
2• Capitalize on young managers who would support initiatives for change and who are
presumed to be more dynamic than their Air Force counterparts.
3• Eliminate the barrier between the Short-Haul Group in Terminal A, and the Long-Haul
Group in Terminal C, in the process obtaining the best-practices from each group.
4• Develop its marketing, sales, and after-sales service to become a more customer focused,
service-oriented company.

LEARNING POINTSThere are many different types of organizational cultures, which vary from one corporation to another or from one industry to another. These organizational cultures are dictated by different factors, including external factors such as government regulation, and kind of customers, as well as internal factors such as philosophies of the founder, influence from management, and adherence to these cultures.
LEARNING POINTS
Organizational culture may be difficult to change, especially if these cultures have been entrenched into an organization. Nevertheless, it is possible to implement changes to organizational culture, whether transformational or incremental, so long as proper and well-crafted plans and measures are implemented.
LEARNING POINTS
It is entirely permissible for organizations to adopt varying cultures, including cultures that are counter-intuitive or deviant from industry norm. A transportation culture (internal-mechanistic), for instance, can transition to a service culture (external-mechanistic), which may allow the transportation company to service its customers better.
