Peter Browning Case Instructions

Study Questions

What people or groups does Peter Browning have to be concerned with in bringing about the change at Continental White Cap?

How should he handle each of these people or groups so that the changes he has in mind will be implemented effectively?

Assignment

At the beginning of class, hand in a two-page team case report describing:

1. what your goals would be if you were Peter Browning;
2. how Continental White Cap looks from the power, structure, and culture perspectives;
3. the changes Peter Browning has been asked to make from the power, structure, and culture perspectives.

In class, we will discuss how Peter Browning should bring these changes about (not just what changes he should bring about) and compare our recommendations to a video in which Peter Browning describes what he did.
