    1.Management Summary

    The Project manager has a mission to establish Sturata Inc. as a

    business organisation within a limited period of ten months. This

    work describes the empowering methods taken by the organizational

    team and joint venture partners to develop a business by further

    investment and the creation of a business plan, thus ensuring the

    successful management, development and delivery of information

    system projects. The strategy undertaken and controlled by the

    executives and executed by the project manager and his team,

    keeping schedule in time and on budget, will be further described,

    ethically adapted to the business partners and presented in the

    fulfilment of a development of a new customized warehouse system

    and autonomous mobile vehicles.

    2.Project Background

    The creation of a new product requests a measure of how success can

    be achieved at the door of every organization. Sturata Inc. reinforces

    this idea by identifying the dimensions to the success of its new

    warehouse system and related products and by capturing the

    financial success as well as portraying the degree to which the new

    product opens new opportunities and by expansion into new market

    areas (Cooper & Kleinschmidt, 1987).

    The establishment of a new company was initiated by Dr Ryan ONeal

    in conjunction with Jeff Hoffman; Dr ONeal developed an

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    4/23

    improvement of traditional warehouse systems and Jeff Hoffman

    provided sponsor funding. In response to the challenges posed by the

    project, the mentioned executives agreed on the need for project

    management skills in order to lead the start-up and development of

    the company.

    Within the timeline proposed, certain tasks required close attention

    and priority measures.

    The identified obstacles involved include:

    1 - The set up of the project management team

    2 - Finalization of research work

    3 Registration and legalization of the company

    4 Homologation of safety regulations to allow the work of human

    and mobile vehicles in same environment

    5 Set up of a supply management system

    6 Testing of new products in a live warehouse environment

    3.Project Objectives

    The Project objectives, created by the executives and project

    manager, were reviewed and extended to a necessary validation

    cycle and healthy negotiation through the support of the project team

    in order to fit the organizations philosophy and strategy (Meredith &

    Mantel, 2009).

    Setting up the objectives of a project is SMART (Specific, Measurable,

    Achievable, Realistic and Time-lined) (Tuner & Mller, 2003) and

    requires the participation of the project team, application of

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    5/23

    5

    knowledge, skills and tools and techniques to project activities

    (PMBOK, 2013, pp.11).

    The objectives of the project constitute:

    Completion of the project and launching a committed set of

    products to the US market within duration of 10 months.

    Development of a suitable organization structure and

    appointment of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) before the

    recruitment process of team members takes place.

    Initiate the recruitment process of team members as planned

    in the first week and employ the first team members to

    contribute to the planned schedule.

    Identify the individuals that will contribute to the project

    (stakeholders) and communicate with them effectively

    throughout the project (Sanghera, 2010, pp. 16).

    Certification of safety and quality regulations before

    commencement of production.

    Establish a business in Vermont, USA and securing legal advice

    support before initiation of project.

    4.

    The Organisational Design PlanThrough the advance of the industry and improvement of technology,

    companies have been forced to rapidly and constantly improve

    themselves through self-modification (Stare, 2011). The growing

    quantity and variety of frequently changing factors in the

    environment are submersed within project organisational structure;

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    6/23

    6

    culture and style that as briefly explained by the PMBOK (2013) are

    likely to influence the project.

    The selection and implementation of a cohesive, efficient and formal

    structure by Sturata Inc is considered an important step and needs to

    be fully investigated based on the shared vision, objectives, policies,

    methodology and level of maturity (Ibid).

    There are several environmental factors that would influence in the

    establishment of the organization and further analysis would need to

    be carried out. The environmental factors include (Sanghera, 2010,

    pp. 37):

    The organizations culture and structure

    Legal Requirements, product standards and quality standards

    relevant to the project

    Skilled human resources

    Infrastructure

    Marketplace conditions

    Internal regulations and guidelines

    Management information systems Risks tolerances

    Work authorization systems

    The level of authority that the project manager enjoys and the culture

    that the company adopts is denoted by the organizational structure

    of which exist several variations and combinations structured in one

    of the three ways: 1) functional, 2) projectized, or 3) matrix (Hedman

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    7/23

    7

    & Mangano, 2011, pp.13-22). Sturata Inc initially has set the

    organization as per functions accorded by executive managers and

    kept in a hierarchy form until recruiting and job positioning of

    important key members have been finalized. Although being a

    hierarchy unit, it is not so easy to imitate due to the communication,

    cooperation and integration between different members. (Martin-de-

    Castro, 2006). With the achievement of the first milestone, leadership

    will play an important role in support the organization to transform

    into a horizontal structure that will (Esturgut & Tamer, 2009):

    Reflect in the beliefs of the leader to institutionalize the

    organizational vision and operational aims,

    Embody transformation qualities and share among individuals

    in Sturata Inc,

    Improve quality applications towards processes and product,

    Improve human resources performance,

    Achieve team member and client satisfaction and social pace,

    Facilitate communication towards changes

    Make decisions in a faster and reliable way

    The formal horizontal organizational structure that Sturata Inc. will

    become can be found in Appendix A. Transformation leaders,

    through the reforming of a new structure, reduce bureaucratic

    process and help team members increase their training, talents and

    contributions to improve the organizations prospect (Ibid).

    5.Stakeholders identification and collaborative advantage

    in Management

    The process followed to achieve the goal of a customized warehouse

    system also depends on the organization of the human resources,

    communication, leadership style of the project manager and his

    attitudes among the team.

    The stakeholders involved in the Sturata Inc establishment, play an

    important role to the achievement of success and need to be

    identified during early stages. The project manager, in order to juggle

    various conflict demands by the internal and external stakeholders

    will develop realistic assessments early in the project and identify

    the principal stakeholders and their agendas (Meredith & Mantel,

    2009, pp.29). Continuation in interview the stakeholders will play

    an essential part in verifying that all works and processes, such as

    certification of safety regulations, are running according to the plan.

    Stakeholders have something to gain or lose in the project and fall

    into 2 categories: positive stakeholders that see the success in

    meeting all requirements and negative stakeholders who create

    disadvantages by increasing the project risks (Ibid).

    The project manager with exemplary organizational and personal

    skills integrates the resources and expertise of one organization with

    that of other, in this case the Ryoichi Company in Japan, by creating a

    win-win-win situation through collaborative ways and strategy as

    illustrated by Hosseinipour et al. (2012).

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    9/23

    9

    These skills consist of (1) Proper communication, (2) Negotiation

    manner, (3) early identification of problems and quick solutions and

    (4) Ability to influence individuals or groups to perform without

    necessary authority over them (Sanghera, 2010, pp.18-19).

    The achievement of integration requires an increased attention level.

    The interface diagram which identifies the stakeholders in the

    project is illustrated in Appendix B.

    6.Conflict Resolution Plan

    Having more than one person involved in a project and forming a

    team creates the potential to have a conflict. Desires, needs and goals

    might be incompatible resulting in long term problem solving

    (Sanghera, 2010). In Sturata Inc., just as in any other organization,

    conflict is inevitable and can easily create environmental situations.

    The occurence of conflict in a work environment, especially in an

    international area such as in the case of Sturata Inc. with off-shore

    contractors like Ryoichi and academic researchers from Europe and

    USA, can be varied and aggravate the situation causing (1)

    personality clashes, (2) stress, (3) heavy workload, (4) poor

    leadership, (4) lack of openness, (5) lack of role clarity or (6) poor

    performance (Bus, 2009, pp.12). The management of conflicts places

    the Project Manager in the precarious situation of having to analyse

    and select a conflict resolution mode. These resolution modes include

    (Kezner, 2009, pp. 304-306):

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    10/23

    10

    1. Confronting both parties with different visions to work through

    their disagreements;

    2. Searching for solutions so both parties leave with some degree

    of satisfaction;

    3. Emphasizing areas of agreement and de-emphasizing areas of

    disagreement;

    4. Avoiding the problems and people that have raised problems

    and

    5. Competing with others that have raised the conflict.

    Such cases were identified in the executive team, between Dr Ryan

    ONeal and Jeff Hoffman, in the decision of the acquisition of Ryoichi,

    an experienced Japanese company that holds contract works in the

    field. The potential conflict was regarding whether Ryoichi would

    present a benefit in operating as a design and development centre. To

    follow with such decisions, the Project Manager proposed the

    following procedure (Ibid):

    1)The project manager would establish interest in participating

    in the discussion

    2)Set up a one-to-one conversation with Dr Ryan ONeal and Jeff

    Hoffman to understand their views and considerations if the

    decision to buy or contract Ryoichi would be taken

    3)Define the potential trigger for problems and collect enough

    information about Ryochi, such as running costs for the new

    off-shore business, transitioning the companys focus to only

    on the development of the product, which additional

    opportunities Ryoichi could offer and alternative options in

    subcontracting their services.

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    11/23

    11

    4)Prepare alternative solutions in both cases using SWOT

    analysis for best choice

    5)Set the appropriate atmosphere to call both parties together,

    present the alternative idea to be implemented and maintain a

    give-and-take attitude

    6)Keep a register of such conflicts for further conflict realization.

    The Conflict resolution plan will be used as a good chance to

    acquire valuable personal and professional knowledge,

    experience and bring to the surface underlying problems that

    would affect the project life cycle more severely if revealed

    later in the project procedure (Ohlendorf, n.d.).

    Another important role is to keep communication in a professional

    manner; the good negotiations to a final decision between Dr Ryan

    ONeal and Jeff Roffman were finalized with such an attitude and

    contributed to an agreement by both parties in acquiring Ryoichi.

    Maintenance of control in how people work, interact and the effective

    behavioural elements into the structure and process; motivate and

    develop productivity (Wong, 2007).

    7.

    Behavioural Issues and Solutions for merging Ryoichi

    With market changes occuring rapidly every day, the need to achieve

    competitive and economical resources at same level of quality and

    expertise requires a hunt through another geographical areas

    (Anbari et al., 2003) as happened to Sturata Inc. The incorporation of

    Ryoichi as part of the design and development process of

    autonomous mobile systems will reflect in basic problems related to

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    12/23

    12

    culture differences and dimension (relations between people,

    motivation orientation and attitudes toward time) that teams in

    Sturata Inc. and Ryoichi will have to cope with and for which

    solutions will be taken to achieve the same goal.

    The step to be initially taken by the executive management in control

    such behaviour issues should be divided in 3 stages: Pre merging,

    during merging and post-merging (Steven et al. 2000).

    Pre Merge Phase

    Decision taken by the executive management in merging Ryoichi is

    made, but without any public announcements or legal issues taken in

    place. Dr. Ryan ONeal, Jeff Roffman, the Project Manager and

    relevant managers should collaborate and map the plan of actions,

    which needs to take in consideration the culture factor. Ryoichi,

    being a Japanese culture, holds different aspects and behaviour

    attitudes important and would need to have their level of

    acculturation measured, developed by Berry (1987), and identify

    best approach to prepare employees to accept the fact.

    Merging Phase

    Having a plan in hand is not enough of a contingency method to

    execute a merge and a change of culture successfully. The executive

    management should officially inform staff of the situation with open

    and honest communication. Keeping employees better informed and

    developing cohesive groups, enhances the opportunity to handle the

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    13/23

    13

    disequilibrium of change in the organizational structure, reduce

    stress levels and lack of trust (Smye & Grant, 1989).

    Post- Merging Phase

    One of the main important issues after merging is to manage new

    culture and find common ground in between team members who

    might develop a perception for fear of taking risks, raising sensitive

    subjects, disagreements and causing conflicts.

    The plan to merge Ryoichi with Sturata Inc. and move to a design and

    development facility would be directed via the following actions

    (Miller & Fernandes, 2009):

    1)Make culture as the main part of the change management

    2)

    Identify and report in both organization those individuals that

    own corporate culture to represent the integration process

    3)Keep in cultural work focuses on the tangible and the

    measurable

    4)Have consideration of the strength that both existing cultures

    provide, such as Ryoichi with expertise in development and

    design the required product and Sturata Inc. with the potential

    manufacture, test and accommodation of the market with

    faster results.

    5)Implement fast decision-making processes that are not

    hampered by culture differences

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    14/23

    14

    6)Make Sturata Inc. brand attractive in terms of career

    opportunities, rewards, and the sense of identify that it offers

    to acquired employees.

    7)

    Attribute those individuals with culture change knowledge and

    experience in the groups that define the key interfaces in the

    new organizational structure.

    8.Leadership Management and Team member Stress

    Trough the project life cycle, there are numerous factors that would

    cause stress to the project managers and related humans during the

    setting up of the Sturata Inc. (Meredith & Mantel, 2009, pp. 130). The

    use of poor leadership by the project manager can increase the stress

    of individuals in the project in many ways possible not having much

    reverting solution for the situation. In other hand stress can also

    represent a benefit if used under certain amount such as meeting

    deadlines, arriving at work on time or finishing a certain task in the

    given time.

    The project manager must with the appropriate leadership style to

    identify the type of stress and learn how to control the situation.

    Excessive stress can influence productivity, health and emotion

    (Mirela & Madalina, 2011). Project managers and related managers

    are subjected to stress due to several different facets of their jobs and

    manifest itself in a variety of ways (Kezner, 2009, pp. 290.292): (1)

    acting tired, (2) feeling depressed, (3) being physically and (4)

    emotionally exhausted, (5) burned out and (6) unhappy, (7) feeling

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    15/23

    15

    trapped, (8) worthless, resentful and disillusioned about people, (9)

    feeling hopeless, (10) rejected and (11) anxious.

    The approach defined by the Sturata Inc. to combat or reduce such

    types of stress types and levels, regardless of the personality and

    personal style are based on the eight MBTI attributes and proactive

    approaches (Flannes, 2010):

    MBTI

    Extravert: Interact without over extend

    Introvert: Withdraw at first, but dont internalize

    Sensing: Do it now remembering the big picture

    Intuition: Search of optional doors, but stay practical

    Thinking: Analyse also taking feelings in consideration

    Judging: Plan without being rigid

    Perceiving: Act flexible and closure

    Proactive approaches:

    Detach or dissociate: Look for appropriate pleasant images

    acting discreetly while unpleasant events occur.

    Monitor conditional thinking: Focus in present state in case of

    stress that may happen asking what if questions to your

    overcome future actions.

    Develop potent conflict resolution skills: Keep the ability to

    adapt to situations of under or over reacting situation my

    happen during the project.

    Know when enough is enough, and stay away from debating:

    Learn when is enough to debate your vision, even when your

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    16/23

    16

    right, it can be a matter to diminishing returns to continue to

    be seen as right.

    Look for a paradoxical component in the situation: Find

    paradoxical cognition that you can hold onto to ease negative

    events at time of occurrence, leaving stress and worries in

    perspective.

    9.Code of Ethics

    The creation of a Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct will be

    carried out by Sturata Inc. according to the Project Management

    Institute (2006) to help individuals become better practitioners and

    establish a profession-wide understanding of appropriate behaviour

    among work colleagues and employees, make decisions during

    difficult situations to avoid compromising the integrity and values of

    Sturata Inc.

    Sturata Inc. Code of Ethics

    General Employee Conduct

    Employees shall adhere to this code of ethics and conduct themselves

    in a professional manner at all times, and shall comply with all

    applicable laws and regulations.

    Conflicts of Interest

    Conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest which may occur

    as a result of an employee of Sturata Inc. is to be declared to the

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    17/23

    17

    Organization and appropriately resolved in conjunction with the

    employees superior. Employees of Sturata Inc. are to avoid using

    their positions for personal advantage.

    Outside Activities

    Employees are encouraged to participate in outside activities that

    will improve the quality of their work, broaden their knowledge and

    improve the public relations of Sturata Inc. However, if an activity

    would negatively impact the employees performance or the

    companys reputation, they are not to engage in such an activity.

    Relationships with Clients and Suppliers

    Employees should strive to maintain a professional relationship with

    clients and suppliers of Sturata Inc. In their dealings with clients and

    suppliers of Sturata Inc, employees should be careful to avoid

    creating the impression that the performance of their duties is

    influenced by their personal relationships or investments in those

    parties.

    Gifts and Entertainment

    Employees of Sturata Inc. must not accept gifts or personal favours

    that could in any way influence the performance of their dutoes, or

    business decisions of Sturata Inc. Employes must also not accept any

    form of preferential treatment to avoid being in put in a position

    where they are obliged to reciprocate the preferential treatment.

    Organizational Records

  • 8/10/2019 Final Project Week 8

    18/23

    18

    Employees must maintain accurate records of all external

    communications and business activities of Sturata Inc. Employees

    must not make any false records or engage in false record keeping or

    communications of any kind.

    10.Conclusion

    The Sturata Inc. project, as many other complex projects, presented

    certain difficulties and conflicts that would be contained inside the

    triple constraints. Requirements were defined without a possibility

    to accept any lack of options. Time frame was limited to 10 months to

    achieve promised participation in the business market followed by

    events such as conflicts in acquiring Ryoichi and difficulties to deal

    with the transference of job role under a new organizational culture.

    The creation of the Sturata Inc. organization is successful possible

    due to the choice of project base structure, having as a mentor in

    relation to all resources and process, the Project Manager. The

    project manager should contain the appropriate experience and skills

    to deal with the human factors that individuals may develop during

    the project cycle and realign their performance for the sake of the

    project success.
