Creating a new position between the CEO
Jack and Jenny have discussed two possible avenues to grow and
expand Sandwich
Blitz, Inc.
One possible strategy would be to franchise locations and
another would be to secure
venture capital to finance an internal expansion by opening
more company-owned
shops.
Jack feels that he just doesn’t have time to investigate
these options because he is
spending an increasing amount of his time assisting the
location managers.
Jenny noted that two of the location managers had exhibited
much skill in the
management of their locations and perhaps a new position
could be added to
coordinate with the location managers, thus freeing Jack to
work on these larger
under the section on authority, please respond to the
following questions:
1. How would creating a new position between the CEO and the
location managers
help the business to grow?
2. Is promoting an existing manager the best place to fill
this position? If not, what is
an alternative source to fill the position?
3. Who within the company should make these decisions?
4. List the levels of authority (management) that Sandwich
Blitz, Inc. would have if
the new position is created.
