Question:
An owner of XYZ Uniform has called you in as consultants. XYZ Uniform sells uniforms and provides embroidery services for high school, college, and recreational sports teams in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The owner has managers in the following departments: High School Sales, Collegiate Sales, Recreational Sales, and Accounting. The High School and Collegiate Sales have one full-time sales associate and two part-time associates as well as a delivery person. The Recreational Sales department has one full-time and one part-time associate. The Accounting department has two full-time employees that report to the manager.
The problem this company is experiencing is that XYZ Uniform business grows too fast than the owner's expectation. XYZ Uniform's demand has been historically high from all sale departments, and the owner personally believes that this high demand will last at least 5 years. However, the demand is too high to meet without hiring new employees, so the owner wants to hire 100 employees to meet the demand. The owner wants you to suggest the new organizational structure with new blood (100 new employees) to meet the high demand and to ensure XYZ Uniform's long-term success.
Question 1. Please list and explain three recommendations in which you can improve the way the current structure operates to meet the high demand and to ensure XYZ Uniform's long-term success.
Question 2. Which type of organizational structures is the most appropriate to adapt your three recommendations from Question 1? Please draw an organizational chart, which reflects your recommendations, and explain your rationale.
