Question

You are a consultant for an Altruistic Management Consultants Inc. You have to meet a client that wants to create small plants closer to their manufacturer. You are charged with comparing a large and small business for planning, respectively. You find out that large companies have formal written objectives versus the smaller companies that commonly have informal objectives and plans that are not written down. How should begin your presentation to your senior manager?

Answer 1

I would commence my presentation to the senior manager with the norms and principles to be followed by small scale businesses and compare with the large scale businesses. Also, provide examples of successful small scale businesses in this regard. In addition to this, I would insist on writing the objectives and planning details on paper. This is a more professional approach, which will help in further growth of business and proper co-ordination. It would be helpful to implement new strategies and keep all the employees connected to the organization, i.e. convey the company's mission, vision and goal statements to all employees, such that all work together towards achieving the organizational targets.
