Missing Information
In the case study, no concrete step or evidence has been highlighted for solving the issues related
to division / segregation of innovation process within the corporation and management of
production and R&D matters for which few options have been considered and the preferred one
has been recommended based on the defined decision criteria.
J.
Assumptions
For the sake of recommending different alternatives / options to address the issue and choosing
the preferred one based on the defined decision criteria, following assumptions have been made:1.
2.
K.
1. Major fall out effect will be the resistance to change of employees and stake holders.
2. Other fall out effect as a result of adopting the preferred option is hiring of additional workforce
for management of production and R&D matters; however, this effect is acceptable as it is
essential to handle the needs of the growing corporation in a befitting manner.
