When students have the English-language PDF of this Brief Case in a coursepack, they'll additionally have the option to buy an audio version. In May 2007, a comparatively small provider based in Indiana, the Engstrom Vehicle Mirrors plant, faces a crisis. Sales had started to decrease in 2005; plant manager Ron Bent had been forced to lay off more than 20 percent of the work force, a year later. Plant productivity was dropping, worker morale was low, and product-quality problems had started to surface. Downturns were old at Engstrom.
For several following years, Engstrom workers had received regular pay bonuses that were Scanlon. But the bonuses had quit in 2006, and Ron Bent must determine the best way to get the plant back on course. Should the Scanlon setup is revised by him? Remove and try another plan? Identify and alter other organizational variables which could be sabotaging Scanlon?
