Case Questions and Instructions (to students)
Assume you are a consultant reporting to Willis, who charged you to examine the
management issues facing Blue Sky Software. Based on your total classwork in
the Management and Leadership program write a critical analysis. Focus on what
you find to be the critical elements facing the company. Be sure to identify and
analyze the management issues facing the Blue Sky Company, and in your essay
include relevant conceptual ideas.
Some questions to consider are: (but the essay need not be limited to these ques-
tions)
1. Blue Sky has undergone a leadership change. Be sure to address the differences
in leadership style and approach today and in the recent past at Blue Sky.
2. For every organization motivation is a critical element. Be sure to discuss and
evaluate the approaches to motivation at Blue Sky now and in the past.
3. Has strategic planning and decision-making changed at Blue Sky? If so, is this a
positive change?
4. The structure of an organization and its control systems are design elements.
Identify potential design and/or control problems at Blue Sky and discuss appli-
cable principles and theories of management that address these problems.
In your essay be sure to explicitly rely on management principles, concepts and
theories from all the management courses to organize your response. The goal is to
demonstrate understanding, application, and integration by the case essay. There is
no single solution, and the essay should not just be a set of personal opinions.
