Management Process and Organization Behaviour - Case Studies1,

CASE STUDY

1. Critically analyze the attitude and action of Mr. Ravinder Rao.
Ans:
Basically Mr Ravinder Rao was an all-rounder, who did exceedingly well in his studies as well as other extracurricular activities. With in a short period of 5 years by his good job and hard work he rose to the position of Project Manager.
But when we are to discuss about his attitude , first and the foremost thing what we see his unsteady mind. Because, even though he was studying well, he discontinued his studies showing his financial crisis. But after joining in an organization, he decided to resign his job and again go for studies.
A man rather a human being should first set goals in his life and then should work hard to achieve his goal. When a goal is fixed then only we can plan our life accordingly and take necessary actions to proceed step by step to achieve these goals. But Mr.Rao seems have got no specific goals.
When he was studying, he wanted to go for job to rid over his financial crises. But when he was an employment, gradually he lost his interest even though it is mainly because of dissatisfied working environment.
If he is proceeding towards some goal, then he will not resign his job in order to continue his studies. He can as well selected or carried out studies by continuing his employment itself by doing as a part time course .
Therefore, after analyzing the attitude and action, Mr. Rao seems to be an unsteady minded human being.
2. If you were Mr.S S Pai what advice would you give Mr.Rao and why ?
Ans:
If I was Mr. S S Pai , I would have advised him to proceed his studies and go for MBA degree . Because, he is very good in his studies also apart from doing good job. So an Organization should also give due care on the career development of his employees.
I would have never at least discouraged Mr. Rao by saying that for a talented person like Mr.Rao, a MBA degree would make no difference.
Rather, I would have explained him the company policy of not granting any study leave but could have helped by way of giving some education advance which can be deducted from his monthly installments over the period of certain years. This is mainly to reduce his financial burden as it is one of the constraints for him to discontinue his studies.
I would have also suggested him not to go for resignation as he will totally be handicapped if he desires to go for full time degree course. I would have suggested him to take MBA degree course as a part time course, so that he works to earn money and studies to acquire more knowledge and obtain qualification.
