Assignment Task

Case Study – Organisational Review 

You have been the General Manager of MacVille’s successful import/export business Centre in Sydney for the past two years. You have been asked by the Board to assist in the development of a strategic plan by initially conducting a review of the vision, mission and values of the organisation.You review the annual report for the previous year, and note the following statement by the Chair of the Board: Within the next five years, MacVille will become a national brand, and will be accepted as an integral part of the hospitality industry, perceived as a key component in the success of hospitality establishments, both large and small.’‘MacVille is in business to provide espresso coffee machines that meet the efficiency, reliability and sustainability needs of our hospitality clients who, in turn, reward us with profits that will allow our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate to prosper.’Being part of the management that assisted in upholding the values of the organisation, you have been made very aware of the Chair and Board’s views on the following values and, after reviewing your papers and reports, you speak with the CEO, who replies:’MacVille’s values have been the same for as long as the organisation has existed. For our stakeholders, it has always been about stewardship and to adhere to professional and moral standards of conduct in all that we do. For our people, we are committed to encouraging self-directed teams, we cultivate leadership and maintain high levels of safety. Externally, we are committed to wise environmental practices and offering meaningful value to our customers.’Later in the review process, you were presented with an opportunity to discuss the application of the vision, mission and values with the CEO again. This time, you were more interested in researching what had changed since the last strategic vision was formulated. 
The CEO explained: 
’In the past few years, since the last strategic plan was formulated, there has been developments in new areas that were not clearly recognised when developing the last plan. These changes are becoming an important part of our operations on a daily basis, and should be reflected in our vision, mission and values.’

The CEO further explained:
‘There is a real need to incorporate innovation into our mission because it has been an outcome from the self-directed team’s directive. Finding new ways to improve the efficiency of processes and effectiveness of customer solutions has become a priority. There has always been a need to evaluate what we were doing, to continually challenge our methods and ask how we can simplify and improve our business. We should never rest on our laurels but instead constantly innovate and raise our standards, because we are not afraid to try new ideas and concepts.  The organisation needs to embrace strategic alliances and to seek out new partnerships that support and promote our mission, desired outcomes, and strategies.’When prompted for further changes that had taken place, the CEO stated:‘MacVille needs to identify more closely with the community it serves. We need to be a good corporate citizen that recognises our responsibility to be active participants in our local communities, and even donate a % of profits every year to a wide variety of community and non-profit organisations.’
