Situation Background (Step 1)

Global Communications is a telecommunications company that is faced with increasing competition and decreasing profits. The company has faced depreciation in stock value, with the price per share dropping 50% in three years. Shareholders are becoming increasingly upset and want to rebound and remain competitor in the industry. Global Communications has devised plan to introduce new services to their customers by creating an alliance with a satellite provider as well as applying practices that will increase profitability and cut costs. By implementing this new plan Global Communications faces several challenges.

Issue Identification

The first issue that Global Communications faces is in their move to become a global leader in the industry is the need to outsource to India and Ireland. To do this, Global Communications needs to layoff several employees and many of those who remain will most likely be relocated with a 10% salary cut. The impact of several coworkers and friends losing their jobs will affect the moral of the remaining employees. Global Communications is faced with the challenge of maintaining the trust and loyalty of their employees to realize their new growth goals.

The second issue that Global Communications faces is the issue with the Union. The Union is upset because they feel that this is a ploy by Global Communications to manipulate a recent contract. The president of the Union, Andre Mustov, informed Global Communications that action would be taken against them through all necessary resources. Global Communications is facing a law suit that will bring potentially damaging media attention at a time when they are trying to earn the trust of the global market.
