Q1.

Identify different several concepts and characteristics from the field of organisational
behaviour that this case illustrates.

The Organizational Behaviour between the two firms were very different and identifiable.
Tony Stark started working at O’Grady and everything was good. The company assured the
emplooyes that they can evolve and their own personal goals can be achieved. O’Grady was a
decentralized firm giving everybody a chance to grow and feel like a part of the firm as their opinion
would be incorporated while the managers did decision making.
The work environment was friendly ad positive. Tthe employees had a lot of freedom to
express themselves and their ideas.The firm practiced managing workforce diversity.
After the closure of O’Grady Stark had to expand his horizan and found Reece .
This firm had an entirely different way of operation. The employees were rewarded based
on their seniority and the political games they were playing. Top managers only were concerned
about the work being complete and not how it was done or who did a good job. Even though Reece
was a much more organized and structured organization, it still failed to be practicing a
decentralisation.
There was a requirement of three signatures from the higher authority without which any
decision making would not have proceeded and therefore made the entire process really slow as
reaching the top managers wasn’t easily accessible and interoffice memos had very low priority. The
environment among the workers wasn’t very pleasing either.
They did not accept anyone new which was appointed at the same stature. This not only was
ignorant but also very demeaning. Tony Stark regretted accepting the offer without researching
about the firm.

Q2.what advice can you give tony? How would this advice be supported or tempered by
behavioral concepts and processes?
Tony Stark could go and ask help from the HR department regarding this issue as he is in constant
stress with this work environment.
He could make a difference in the firm he was working and bring about a change. Changing
working situations in such a huge firm is very difficult but its not impossible.
He probably is not the only one facing the problem. There might be a few others and would
join him to help him take the decision of change.
This change could be bought about by effectively talking to the high authority. Letting them
know that people don’t have a job satisfaction nor are they excited about the work, which would
eventually lead to the downfall of the firm and further shut down. Or Tony Stark could look for
another job and this time research the company and then join it.

Q3. Is it possible to find an ‘ideal’ place to work? Explain.

It is not easy to find an ‘ideal’ work place or maybe possible. You have to make a place ideal
according to your goals and perspective.
In my opinion an ideal place to work should be positive not only company but also the
people that work there, not being afraid to ask for information if you did not aquire it yet, to have
collgues that help you to grow on both planes.The management should be employees oriented, to
support their employees ideas and help them grow.
