Wanda finally makes the decision to move her business out of her home and rent a small building in town that has space for a commercial kitchen as well as enough room for some retail sales. She knows that she is going to have to manage more “moving parts” of her business, but she isn’t sure what that will entail. When you press Wanda for details, she indicates that if she expands she will add the following positions to the company:
A full-time dog treat baker;
One part-time baking assistant;
A retail sales clerk who will also handle the website and Etsy sales;
One part-time “administrative” assistant who will help Wanda with day-to-day operations and paperwork.
She also anticipates that if her sales projections are correct, that within the next 12 months she will add:
One part-time bookkeeper;
A full-time ecommerce manager who will handle all of the website traffic and Etsy orders;
One part-time marketing manager to promote the Salty Pawz brand and help develop new products.
Your Task
Prepare an organizational chart for Wanda that depicts what her role as a manager will look like if she expands as outlined above.
In addition to the chart, for each direct and indirect report, provide details regarding what management functions she will be performing. Be sure to explain to Wanda specifically how each management function may affect her, those she is managing, and the business in general.
