1. How would creating a new position between the CEO and the location managers help the business to grow?

I believe that by creating a new position between the CEO and location managers would not only help the top level Managers but the business would also benefit because now the CEO and Managers would be free to devote their time to more important higher-level activities such as planning, setting objective, and monitoring performance. Delegating the work offers important advantages especially when done effectively.

2. Is promoting an existing manager the best option to fill this position? If not, what is an alternative source to fill the position?

I believe that promoting an existing manager to fill the position would be a great asset because they already have the authority and know the daily activities and issues that go on first hand. Dalman and Lei need to look for skilled managers within the company that can make effective daily decisions and have great communications skills not only with their employees but also with their customers.

3. Who within the company should make these decisions?

According to the video presentation, Dalamn is busy assisting the location managers. So, Lei would be the one who can make the company decision.

4. List the levels of authority (management) that Sandwich Blitz, Inc. would have if the new position is created.

The levels of authority would be, The CEO, middle managers, location mangers and line managers.
