    The task force to address unexpectedly falling sales should include representatives from marketing, finance, and sales who can analyze the causes and propose solutions. Sally, the engineering manager, should tell Mark, the director, that daily staff meetings would be counterproductive and compromise her staff's independence, and instead offer regular weekly updates directly to Mark. The number of employees in each department at Company X likely differs based on the varying needs and responsibilities of each department.

    BB SEATWORK #1

    Solve the following:

    1. As the company’s sales are coming down unexpectedly, the president asks you to chair a task
    force with the objective of developing a solution to correct the situation. Who do you want to
    be on this task force? How should the task force resolve the problem?
    2. Sally Lee, the engineering manager, delegates tasks as a good manager should. However, Mark
    Hayes, engineering director, has the bad habit of calling up Sally unexpectedly to get detailed
    reports on various ongoing activities in Sally’s department. Sally does not want to hold daily staff
    meetings in order to satisfy Mark’s information needs because Sally is quite certain that asking
    her professional staff to stand by and make daily reports will definitely be counterproductive, as
    all of them are known to prefer independence. What should Sally do?
    3. The organizational chart of Company X reveals that different numbers of employees to its five
    deparments, as shown below. Why do the numbers differ?

    Distribution of Employees
    Departments Number of Employees
    A 3
    B 7
    C 4
    D 6
    E 9
