Need help with my Management question – I’m studying for my class.

Discussion Question

Return to Chapter #2 – Simple Ideas, Complex Organizations – and read the boxed in mini-case When Bosses Rush In on page #30.

Consider Helen Demarco’s situation and response to the “Osborne Plan” publicized by Paul Osborne through the lenses of the Four Frames – Political, Symbolic, Human Resources and Structural. Answer this question:

• How do the elements of the situation / response fit into each frame?

Provide comment on some of the following questions:

• Was Helen Demarco a good manager?
• What grade did she deserve for her handling of the Osborne plan?
• What do people think about her responses?
• Her choices?
• Her options?
• The power of her beliefs and theories of the situation?

Be sure your answer is supported by concepts and references from course materials.
