MGT/312 Organizational Behaviors For Managers

Scenario: You have worked at your current employer for five years. Recently your company merged with a much larger Boston Accounting Firm to improve efficiencies, increase revenues, cut costs and adopt best practices in the industry. After the merger, you find yourself on a team of four other individuals whom you have never met. Each individual is from a different department: Auditing, Tax, Corporate Governance, Legal, and Insurance. The purpose of your team is to downsize your department in terms of employees.

Create a 10-slide restructuring/downsizing plan presentation, with speaker notes included, which can be used in each department. The plan should answer the following questions:

• Why is the change needed?
• What will change?
• Who will be affected?
• How will they be affected?
• How will potential conflict be managed?
• How will trust be strengthened or repaired?
• How will power be shared in the organization after the restructuring/downsizing?
• What tactics will be used to achieve a successful restructuring/downsizing transition? What tactics will be avoided?
• What are the benefits of the planned changes?
• What is the timeframe of implementation?
• How will changes be communicated to the employees?

Write up a 175-word company-wide memo that can be used by the CEO to communicate the change plan to the employees.

Cite a minimum of 2 references. One of the references must be the course textbook.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
