Case Study Read the case below and answer ALL questions. Kevin is the founding entrepreneur of Innotech, a fast-growing digital software company that specializes in home consumer software. Customer demand to license the software has boomed so much that in just two years, Innotech has added over 50 new software programmers to help develop a new range of software products. These programmers are young and inexperienced but are highly skilled and used to putting in long hours to see their ideas succeed. The growth of Innotech has been so fast but still operate informally. As the owner of the business, Kevin has been so absorbed in his own work that he has paid little attention to the issue of leading the growing company. Kevin has allowed his programmers to find solutions to problems as they go along, they have also been allowed to form their own work groups, but there are signs that problems are arising. There have been increasing complaints from employees that Kevin do not recognize or reward good performance and that the employees do not feel equitably treated. Moreover, there have been growing concerns that Kevin is either too busy or not willing to listen to their new ideas and act on them. A bad atmosphere seems to be developing in the company and recently several talented employees have left. Kevin realize that he has done a poor job of leading and motivating the employees and that he needs to develop a better management approach to encourage employees to perform well and stay with the company.
