what is the organizational culture of jpi and how has it changed over time?

Production size was modest, with 200units being produced. JPI's products were selling in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Palestine, Egypt and Libya. The company's vision is to be an industry leader in producing paints for the regionof exceptional quality at a price that is fair and competitive. The CEO and founder exerted considerable influence in articulating a set of workplace behaviors and expectations based on his own personal valuesand beliefs. These, on the one hand, rested on a traditional religious and spiritual value system found in Islamic teachings; and, on the other hand, on work values associated with ideas of cooperation, credibilityand honesty. The Islamic underpinnings derive from four main concepts comprising:Amanah: This means in Arabic to be obligated to uphold one's trusts and duties, a type of moral responsibility for fulfilling one's obligations.Taqwa: To engage and act in work as if your God is always watching over you, to self-monitor behaviours, to ensure honesty and at all times to fear God.Shura: To always seek out other opinions, views and advice (consultation) before making a final decision.Itqan: To continuously search for self-improvement and perfection in the conscientious development of oneself.In establishing JPI, the founder and CEO was keen to instil these values in the core of the company's operating philosophy and to ensure that employees fully align with these attitudes in their approach towork. He wanted all employees to embrace these values in their workplace behaviors and continually reinforced these through his own actions and close interaction with staff. In the transition from a family-typebusiness to a much bigger and more diverse enterprise, a number of new employees were recruited, who brought with them a new set of values and beliefs that were not tied to the Islamic approach established bythe founding CEO. In addition, an unplanned contingency arose, in which the founding CEO had to be away for an unspecified period. In dealing with this unforeseen event, they appointed a new CEO to managethese developments. The change in executive leadership arose in the context of competitive market change and growth in the size of the company. This combination of an expansion in employee numbers andappointment of new CEO proved disruptive, for example the culture of the company diverged following a change of leadership which was reinforced through the intake of new recruits who had not been schooledin the old ways of doing things. The adage that culture is the way things are done around here' came to the fore in a mismatch and misalignment of the values and beliefs of longstanding and establishedemployees and those who had been more recently appointed and the new operating style of the replacement (temporary) CEO.In seeking to tackle the issue, a consultant was appointed who clarified the nature of the problem, highlighting how established staff and middle managers were still practicing the values embedded in theJPI culture by the founding CEO: for example a middle manager said, 'I feel that there is a spiritual energy that drives me to work better when I practice amanah, taqwa and itqan values and I make sure that Iwork here in this company as if it is my own business.' New recruits, however, took a different view and, although they demonstrated the same level of commitment to their work, the consultant reported that theoverall drive in doing the job was less. This misalignment of the values and beliefs instilled by the founder/CEO and the new CEO was also being seen in the movement away from cooperative and consultativeteamwork towards a more individual-based orientation to work.Although there has been a cultural shift, interestingly the dominant value system remains that of the middle managers and staff who have been working for JPI for more than 15 years. These people havebeen highly influenced by the founder's personal values, and they are still practicing what they have been taught Although these longstanding employees have tried to introduce the traditional JPI values to thenew staff, without leadership reinforcement and a clear signal from the CEO, a mismatch was likely to continue and further disrupt developments and, in particular, the aim of developing the skills andcompetencies of all staff.9OALUI2K1

Scenario 4 Sharon Gillespie, a new buyer at Visionex, Inc., was reviewing quotations for a tooling contract submitted by four suppliers. She was evaluating the quotes based on price, target quality levels, and delivery lead time promises. As she was working, her manager, Dave Cox, entered her office. He asked how everything was progressing and if she needed any help. She mentioned she was reviewing quotations from suppliers for a tooling contract. Dave asked who the interested suppliers were and if she had made a decision. Sharon indicated that one supplier, Apex, appeared to fit exactly the requirements Visionex had specified in the proposal. Dave told her to keep up the good work. Later that day Dave again visited Sharons office. He stated that he had done some research on the suppliers and felt that another supplier, Micron, appeared to have the best track record with Visionex. He pointed out that Sharons first choice was a new supplier to Visionex and there was some risk involved with that choice. Dave indicated that it would please him greatly if she selected Micron for the contract. The next day Sharon was having lunch with another buyer, Mark Smith. She mentioned the conversation with Dave and said she honestly felt that Apex was the best choice. When Mark asked Sharon who Dave preferred, she answered, Micron. At that point Mark rolled his eyes and shook his head. Sharon asked what the body language was all about. Mark replied, Look, I know youre new but you should know this. I heard last week that Daves brother-in-law is a new part owner of Micron. I was wondering how soon it would be before he started steering business to that company. He is not the straightest character. Sharon was shocked. After a few moments, she announced that her original choice was still the best selection. At that point Mark reminded Sharon that she was replacing a terminated buyer who did not go along with one of Daves previous preferred suppliers. Ethical decisions that affect a buyers ethical perspective usually involve the organizational environment, cultural environment, personal environment, and industry environment. Analyze this scenario using these four variables.

Auto Ziz (AZ) is an Indonesian automotive manufacturer launched in December 2017. The launch of AZ was successful with sales of 5000 units of vehicles for the first month. The sales figure continues to raise, especially the availability of 50% sales tax exemption for the locally assembled vehicle to boost the demand of local brands. In the second quarter of 2019, the sales have fallen by 20% due to the launching of a new car model by the competitor and the drop continues because of COVID-19. Even though the sales have impacted AZ, this company believed new technology will remain the focus of the automotive industry. Therefore, AZ will continue to develop eco-cars that will generate return but also satisfy customer wants and help society to become a low carbon society. Question Describe the types of marketing management orientations. Based on above, identify the marketing management orientation likely practised by the AZ and support with a relevant explanation.
