Introduction to the organization:
XYZ Company was established 20 years ago, to manufacture gearbox components for diesel
engines. It employs around 250 people, having a head office, which employs a wide range of
personnel who are generally well educated and enthusiastic about their work, and a factory, which
employs semi-skilled local people who are generally disinterested in the products of the company
and who have an instrumental attitude to work, seeing salary as the only reward.

•There was wide spread differences in individual work standards
•Processes were non-standardized resulting in repeated problems
•Management made all decisions and cascaded the result down to employees

relationships and tasks with the following objectives:

Caselet 2
Introduction to the organization:
XYZ Company is an existing profit making FMCG Company. The company has 600 personnel
and has branches all other the country. It has a separate training department with a Training
Manager, Mr. A.P. Mohan as its head who is supported by two qualified training officers. Mr.
Mohan has been in the company for the last 8 years and is very efficient.
Brief Description of the Problem:
Mr. Mohan wants to leave the organization. He is fed up with organizational politics. He is
dissatisfied and infact frustrated. There are several reasons attached to it. First and foremost is
that he is not paid adequately despite the fact that he has brought 12% growth in revenue to the
company. Second reason is that he is not consulted and constantly neglected while making
decisions on training aspects. Lastly, he considers himself to be a victim of politics played in the
organization. Production Manager is constantly hurting him and interferes with the work. Dr.
Ashok Sarao, boss of Mr. A.P. Mohan does not want him to leave the organization, as he knows
that the effectively will come down if he leaves. Dr. Ashok tries to convince Mohan that he
should adjust himself with the environment and also talk of how Mohan is constantly neglected.
He talks of how politics is played in the organization and strengths and weaknesses of Mohan but
does nothing to convince Mohan. Rather he says that they have to adjust, as they are part of
family run business. In this setting, personal equation rather than merit works. Mohan is not
convinced, and says he is leaving.
Questions:
1. Why a high performer like Mr. Mohan decided to leave the organization he has been long
part of?
2. Do you think Mr. A.P. Mohan took the right decision to leave the organization? What would
you have done if you were in his shoes?
