Chapter 4
Case Study – Listo Systems: The Challenge of a Growing Organization
In this assignment, you will have the chance to review a case study as a consultant and offer your insights and recommendations.
The purpose of this assignment is to apply your knowledge and skills to a real-world scenario, allowing you to develop a deeper understanding of the practical implications of the concepts you have learned throughout your graduate studies. It will also enhance your critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication abilities.
The following chapter 4 case study is based on what you have learned from chapter 4 of your textbook. Papers must be written in APA writing format. This includes double-spacing and page numbers.
Listo Systems’ VISION statement is: “To be recognized as a leader in supplying quality graphic design products and services to our customers and to be respected by our clients and staff.”
Listo Systems’ MISSION statement is: “We strive to develop superior graphic design products and services for our users through state-of-the-art technology, innovation, teamwork, and leadership.”
Following their early success and growth, Listo hired a number of new managers and employees. In response to the expansion of staff, Listo reorganized by adding layers of supervisors and managers between executive management and line staff; however, growth occurred so rapidly that proper training was not provided to the new employees. Management was less concerned with the employees’ opinions and was more focused on production and profit. Instead of enlisting employees’ opinions, more directive orders were given. The change and increased complexity associated with adding new layers to the hierarchy resulted in the organization’s goals and objectives becoming unclear. Employees began to complain about the new bureaucratic processes and the slow pace of decision-making. While the organization has been growing in size, productivity has slowed and quality has decreased. The turnover rate is higher than it has ever been, and the number of sick days that people take has doubled over the past few years.

The balanced scorecard approach has been used as a strategy evaluation and strategy formulation method since the early-1990s when Kaplan and Norton (1992) first introduced the idea. Variations of the balanced scorecard were used by over 70% of Fortune 1000 companies by 2002, and companies in virtually all industries use the scorecard approach as a means of approaching performance evaluation.
