I have been asked to develop an action plan for Anne Ewers as she moves forward with the ongoing merger of the Utah Opera and the Utah Symphony. A balanced scorecard has been provided for both organizations, and this document will include analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of each organization and recommendations that Ms. Ewers can take to address the weaknesses.

Recommendations will be made for how the merged company executives can mitigate each of these issues.…
The first 4 years of Company D was rough in some areas but improved throughout the years. The image rating was one major weakness in the company. Image rating stuck around 41 to 70 for the first 4 years of operating. With each year the rating increased little by little slowly to compensate or help the company. The image rating slowly climbing helped the company by showing the customers the organization is up for making improvements in order to gain their loyalty to by the products.…
The BCP as written will first be disseminated to the members of the emergency preparedness team for review and acceptance. It will then be presented to the Board of Directors for further discussion, revision, or acceptance. Once the final plan is accepted by the board, it will be issued to the members of upper management in duplicate as stated in the BCP (one to remain secured at the manager’s home and one at the office). The management team will then be tasked with ensuring that the necessary pieces of the BCP be explained to the staff necessary to perform the tasks within the plan. Once all pieces of the plan have been issued to the proper individuals the emergency preparedness team will hold a mandatory meeting to ensure complete buy-in by staff and to explain the finer details while answering any questions individuals may have as to their role in the process.…

In analyzing the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera merger case study, it was obvious that many factors, finances, personalities, and even the community would be involved. The wide reaching affects of a merger between these two types of organizations was eye opening. At the time of the proposed merger, the Utah Opera had a stronger financial footing and was not in danger of closing. The Utah Symphony however, was sliding down a dangerous financial slope. The organizations were structured differently in their number of employees and financial compensation packages. These differences would prove challenging in a merger and could be the basis Bill Bailey would use to oppose such a merger.…

As Chairman of the Board for the opera, Bill could rely on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to find motivation tools to support the merger. Maslow theorizes that as one need is met the needs further up the pyramid become important. Both the opera and symphony exist and have lives thus meeting the physiological needs. Moving up the pyramid from safety through self-actualization Bill could find ways to describe how the merger helps both organizations fill the needs for themselves which would in turn help the merged organization. Each organization has strengths and weaknesses, such as the opera having a stronger fund-raising history or the symphony having a greater reputation, which could lend themselves to ensuring the success of the merger.…
