You are the
senior operations manager for a mid-sized insurance company. One of your
smaller competitors (also an insurance company) has been hit hard due to many
claims from a recent major storm. The company has also made some bad
investments and is in financial trouble. Your boss has called you in to tell
you that they plan on buying out this firm and integrating their business,
and he needs you to develop the internal executive proposal that outlines a
plan for integrating the smaller company into your current company?s current
organizational model. Your job is to come up with an organizational plan to
create a smooth merger of the two companies. From start to finish, develop a
proposal?for internal use only? that
explains how the company should proceed. Your boss tells you that the main goal of your proposal is to
minimize behavioral resistance to change at both companies, to include
clients, leadership, and subordinates. Include recommendations, such as
activities, communications, and corporate meetings/events, in each related
area of organizational behavior that will help with this merger. Be sure to
cite theories from at least three peer-reviewed, scholarly articles written
in the organizational behavior field within the last three to five years to
support your proposed ideas. Your paper should consist of a minimum of two
pages. Please be sure to cite all references in proper APA format. Be sure to
cover each of the following content areas:? Improving Perceptions?
Work-Related Stress? Employee Motivation? Rational Choice Paradigm
