Note: The module exercises are graded on a "check system (either you receive credit or do not). The exercise is a brainstorming activity and does not need to be polished. However, you should demonstrate critical thinking. You may complete this exercise individually or in groups of your choosing. If completed in groups (max of 6 people), only one person needs to submit on Canvas (but include all names on the document). However, I recommend that the group members not submitting on Canvas still upload a document to the assignment prompt that simply indicates who in their group submitted. Module 8 Exercise: You are advising the top-management of a caf business which sells high quality coffee in addition to some baked goods (Please assume that this exercise takes place in the (hopefully near) future when the crisis is over, and the caf scene is once again thriving). The first location opened about five years ago in downtown San Jose (where the company is headquartered). The company has been growing ever since, and now has four locations in the Bay Area, two in Los Angeles, and two in Seattle. There are plans to open up 11 new stores - including a few in New York - over the next few years. Currently, the company is very loosely organized, with all store managers reporting directly to the CEO/founder in San Jose. The CEO is a very inspirational leader, and has tried to create a culture of trust, leaving most decisions regarding how each location should be run up to each store manager. However, some in the company (even now the CEO) think the organization needs a more formal approach with tighter management controls. 2. The company has few formal job titles or job descriptions other than for the top- management team (CEO, CFO, etc.) and the manager of each store (called the "Team Leader"). All others at each location have the title of "Team Member," with the manager of each store organizing employee responsibilities however they like. Should the company create more formalized job titles and positions? If so, what specific positions should be created? Would you change reporting relationships?
