Sandwich Blitz, Inc. Interoffice Memo
The Sandwich Blitz organization has grown as far as it can without engaging a major project to investigate the best process for a major expansion. By creating a new coordinating position between the CEO and location managers, the business has more potential to grow. In order to accomplish this, Dalman and Lei should create a Daily Operations Manager position. This job would entitle the hired manager to be in charge of the day to day operations of the stores. Each of the store managers would report to this new position. This person will take on the day to day duties in managing the stores that Dalman and Lei have been performing. This will free up Dalman and Lei so that they can concentrate on building the business.
The decision on whether to promote one of the existing store managers or to hire someone from the outside is not an easy one. Each option has advantages and disadvantages. If you promote one of the store managers, you gain the advantage of someone who is already familiar with the day to day operations. Unless this person also has previous experience at this type of management, there will not be any new ideas introduced to the organization. In order to do this, they would need to hire someone from the outside. Though this person may not be familiar with the product line, new management ideas could be introduced into the organization. New ideas could help the organization run more efficiently. Someone who has experience managing a large team over a large geographic area plus some training experience and finance experience would be a great find for the company.
This decision should be made by Dalman and Lei for two reasons. The first one is that the Daily Operations Manager will report directly to Dalman and Lei. The second one is that this new person will take over the job duties currently being handled by Dalman and Lei. The new person will
