Bus 620

For our final assignment for Business 610 Organizational Behavior we are asked to describe an organizational change that our work organization is likely to make in the future. As I am not employed at the moment, I will use as my organization a company that if not careful will surely end up as another failed business and close the doors.

The owners/management resort to bad business practices such as false advertising, price gouging along with embezzlement. The philosophy of the owners is not related to the customer comes first it is related to the owners come first and to quote my former boss, "I need money!" Period. That is all this company is about just give them their money and you should hope to get the services and equipment that you paid for.

I have a few simple ideas that this company could do which would set them in a positive direction.
