Transcript: Robinson Mason is a very clear example of bad management and the "snowball" effect. They trampled with 1 problem and made it bigger every time they tried to fix it due to poor research or bad leadership. There were many times where Robinson Mason could've been saved but most of the management acted like they did not even care by putting their personal assets always at first and showing poor leadership to their employees. Erratic decision making and poor research helped making a not so big problem into a catastrophic problem at the end of the case and costing millions of dollars to the owners personal assets. Calling bankruptcy was the right call by Robinson Mason, at the end of case the company was holding itself together by very thin threads and the employees lost their thrive to fix the problem with the company once the Ganymede team failed and resulted in such an expensive manner to the company. Robinson Mason part II Robinson Mason part III The problem behind all this... The magnitude of the business transformation required across Robinson Mason's became clear, a dozen countries accustomed to operate on their own would now be required to become a single, unified business with a common mission, working in complete alignment. To indicate the seriousness of his commitment and the level of determination, the European regional director appointed a full-time director with full authority to oversee design and implementation of the changes needed. The plan was programmed planned to run in three phases: Robinson Mason part I That was the plan, the reality was different... In the early 1990s Robinson Mason was a long-established UK multinational with a stable very well known-consumer brands, enjoying a presence in much of Western Europe. Marketing took place at a number of sites and was not coordinated between countries. There was no formal comonality of positioning and it could quite often be the case that a new product was launched as and when the local country decided. In other words the company was segmented into its own each market and they did whatever they wanted. This lead the company's performance to stall at the mid of the 1990's. Robinson Mason cases Thank you for you time! Robinson Mason part IV In conclusion... Two month exploratory/familiarization Three-day workshop run by the Ganymede team Present, built upon and eventually accept the European regional director and his direct reports Better decision making Communication with the higher directive Workshops for employees Carrying out what was planned when it was planned Understanding the problem before taking a decision More interest Santiago Garza 918405 Jesse Williams 919066 Mauricio Garza 918764 Almost as soon as the program began, tensions felt within the Ganymede team. The change management consultants had a style that immediately rankled with the Robinson Mason members of the team. They appeared personally disorganized, required long hours to be worked for no good reason other than to make impression on the local management. The Robinson Mason team were also unimpressed with the management consultants made the tension even stronger. The European Regional was changed for an American which was way more focused on delivering the financial numbers inherited by his predecessor. The Ganymede team found itself with an absentee director due to the past tensions with the Robinson Mason team and members of the company began to actively seek positions in other parts of business. Final presentation Management Consulting In the following 18-24 months, Robinson Mason's business continued to labor on. The business was seen as complex, failing, unable to reach its targets, with a director obsessed with balance and maverick general managers primarily concerned with safeguarding their personal interests. Some attempts were made at coordinating activity but they failed. In the area of customer management the Ganymede team had don great work by creating effective handbooks until they were hampered by the European sales director, who could not appreciate that his role was to support the RM sales team rather than to negotiate with trade partners. Many of the key recommendations of Ganymede were lost or ignored, thanks to this the Ganymede was seen as an expensive failure. By this Robinson Mason called bankruptcy and was saved from oblivion by a company called Wessel GmbH, a company with quite different and much more determined management style. How could this been avoided?

And their success is linked directly to their ability to navigate and pivot around this furnished room and reach that light switch. If they can turn it on, they end up on top. • Pivoted • “many economists have argued that entrepreneurial behavior is caused by market imperfections that create an opportunity for entrepreneurs to earn above average economic wealth (Hebert and Link 1988).” • Small Business VS Entrepreneurs • NEW • Entrepreneur Companies = Innovative • Public Sector - Obama What an entrepreneur acts Usually start at small Wealth is created – New demand Innovation - new products - new production methods - new markets - new forms of organization Uncertainty Entrepreneurship and small business Entrepreneurship is especially critical in small businesses - Sources of competition for large firms; challenge their economic power - Offer a wide range of choice to consumers - Sources of innovation and creativity - Good career opportunities to work in an unstructured environment of a small company Since 2008 Australian Innovator of the Year 2010 Australian International Design Award 2010 Innovation: providing affordable off-grid energy based on clean solar technologies (Clean energy) New demand: 1.6 billion people around the world without access to power Wealth & Social Benefit (Improves education by providing lighting, Improves overall health, cost saving etc) Successful example: Indian village Entrepreneurship is management 1.
