Vy : Good morning! Welcome to our today’s meeting.

I’m senior executive from

Asia Entertainment. And this is Tu, my secretary. Great to meet you.

Thúy: Good morning too. It’s pleasure to see you today . I’m a new Australian
manager led by Scott Henderson. My co- worker is Trang

Tú: there is the document that I prepare gor today’s meeting. Please take a lokok
before we start!

- The weather today is so good!How do you feel about it?

Trang : What a nice day. Bit nippy today and I really into this weather.

Tú: I do too. I really wish the weather would just stay the same in the next days.

Vy : When the Corona pandemic had occurred at the beginning of this years, my
company had some problem. We didn’t make any profit during 3 months and we
have to raise company’s profile by launching new product with lower price. How
about your company?What are the effects of this pandemic on your company?

Thúy: My company was affected by the pandemic too. When the corona happen ,
my company did not sell our product as many as before. So we didn’t afford to pay
full salary for employees. Most of staffs wanted to leave out and apply for a new
job in other company.

Vy: I am so sorry about that. In my opinion, if we cooperate, we will improve

company situations

So. In the previous meeting in last week, we agreed to cooperate 2 corporations

to break into Asia Market by launching a TC. And today, we are going to discuss
about time and who the famous person we will collaborate in endorsement. So
What is your proposal?

Thúy: I am sorry. I have some reservation about that. Iam a new mangagerr and
some wokers in my company are not totally agree about this cooperation.

Tú : Could you give me the reason why are staff resisting the changes ?. I think
everything is quite good.
Trang: The staffs are very unhappy about the changes. They have some anxiety
about the high staff turnover and low morale. The employees asked to re-apply for
their job. They feel very uneasy and insecure. People do not want to compete
against each other for jobs.

Vy : What mistakes is the new management making , if any ?

Thuy: Personally I feel making a merger is a hard work. There are some problems
when two companies have different style of management . The employees in each
company , they are familiar with the way they work and the management of the
leader. As well, I think the cutural among them have some differents betweem two
companies .

Trang : Beside my colleague’s opinion I want to add a few things . The staff want
to re-apply for their position . They feel inconvenient about this change. People do
not want to compete against each other for jobs. Especially, we want to improve
their skills because their English language skills is not good . Our market in Asian
so I think English is the best way to communicate

Thúy: Do you have any proposals about practical actions that we can improve the
situation?

Tú : Yes. There will be some initial problems , no doubt , but the new Chairman
and Chief Excutive will be Scott Henderson. A graduate from the Harvard School
of Business , Scott Henderson has a reputation for being a strong leader who is not
afraid to take difficult decisions.

In addition, we should identify what sets our apart from each other ,
considering our relative pros and cons, then figuring out how both can contribute
to the future of the company, we should analyze both our competitive position as
well as our future objectives. “ That means understanding what we’re doing with
our business , where we want to go and what we value most”. “ That means
making sure we understand what it is we are trying to gain through this
transaction”. And throughout, remember speed is critial at this stage, delay drives
failure and may cost we key people. This is the time to sweat the small stuff, like
being sure that acquired employees know how to increases sales.

Vy :Did you mention that the third mistake is about English courses?
Thúy : Yes. It is the cost of English course

Vy: In this problem, My proposals is that we can have some free courses or the
employee just pay half the tuition. If you do that. We can encourage the staff to
study without worrying about financial problems. And in the last mistake, we can
improve by increasing the salary for the worker who are active at work. Flexibility
skills is one of the most skill we need in the staff.

Trang : What can be learrned from this experience ? How can the company
manage change more effectively in the future ?

Tú : We can interview the teams , or try using an employee survey tool. Keep in
mind that your teams are made up of competent , hardworking , individuals who
are understandably and naturally nervous about their future in the organization.

Vy : To be more effectively in the future. I think we should motivate the staffs so

that they can maximize their potential instead laid anyone off. Of we can set some
holidays or picnics to understand about each company clearly. You need to make
sure to communicate offer and frequently with all the employees that will be
affected by the merger

Thúy : In my opinion , we should organize picnics to encourage the employees

have a good time to know together. You should have a meetings between managers
and employees to discuss the best way to do in the future

Trang : The important thing is we should listen some opinions from our staff
carefully before making a decision

Tú : Talk indepth with your teams about how they see theirr role in the company ,
this will be provide you vital clues on how to execute the merger without affecting
the morale of the employees by unitentionally erasing their team identities and
making them feel invisible and or insignificant in your organisation

Vy: So after solving the issues I think we should go back the agenda. Do you have
any idea about time when we will launch the TC and who the main actor in the
endorsement?

Trang: My suggestion is the TC should be carry out at the end of next month, thí í
the most suitable time because we need time to be well prepared. Do you agree?
Vy: I must agree with Trang. And my idea is that we may invite Thuy Thien singer
this this advertising campaign since at the moment she is the person who has the
most influential in social netwoking.

Thúy: That sounds acceptable. And Do we need discuss anything else?

Vy: I think that’s enought. Can I summarize what we’ve agree? The time will be
30th, november and the main actress is Thuy Tien singer. Right? hope it will be
useful in enhance the finacial of our company.

Thúy: Me too. I hope so.

Trang : It almost lunch time. How about we go for a lunch together?

Thúy: I know a newly open Italian restaurant near by . The food is great . It just 3
minutes within walking distance.

Tú: Awesome. I love Italian food. Let’s go together
