Oranization of your business
1. I chose to organize the situation of a bakery. The mission and purpose of the bakery is to provide fresh pastries with high quality ingredients and coffee on an everyday basis.
2. In order to accomplish this mission there are a set of tasks to be completed. First, one must ensure that there is all the ingredients necessary to bake and as fresh as can be. Then, one must bake enough of the pastries in order to meet demand. The worst scenario is running out of something that customers are ordering or coming in for. The business must hire two full time bakers and some baristas to ring out the items in a fast manner for customers in the morning.
3. (Attached organizational chart)
4. One main issue that will be faced when running the business at two locations is to retain team cohesion and retain the mission and philosophy of the bakery. Another issue is how to communicate effectively with the employees in the other location in order to ensure they understand what their duties are and to see how they are performing. The second location needs to share in the vision of what good performance is. The communication issue may be solved with weekly meetings, Skype or webinars. The key is that employees understand what they need to do and are supported. Tracing results of each business may be a challenge. In order to ensure both businesses are carrying out operations as the mission states, there should be a standardization of some vital procedures. (Attached drawn organization chart that includes the two business locations.) This organization chart looks similar to the first chart but is divided by store. I would have the store managers and president hold meetings to evaluate progress and perhaps meet with the bakers and baristas to get feedback that may help the business. Because the organization doesn’t rely on innovation and needs to focus on the same product and service offered in both locations, there is a mechanist format. The baristas will report to the store
