I. POINT OF VIEW
This case analysis takes the point of view of Mr. Harnett, the president of Tucker Company. Being the top manager, he is the one responsible for overseeing the current status and developments of the company. Moreover, he is the one in-charge for taking necessary actions regarding the inevitable occurrences of conflicts within the company and among the company’s employees. He is also capable of reorganizing or restructuring the organization.
The group decided to take neither Ms. Hodge’s nor Mr. Franklin’s points of view because taking either of the two would be considered biased since they are the very persons involved in the issue and would only result to the one blaming the other, leaving the matter unresolved.
II. PROBLEM STATEMENT Taking Mr. Harnett’s point of view, the group deems that the problem would be: What should be the most appropriate action to be done to the structure of the organization to minimize conflicts within the company divisions and among the employees?
III. ANALYSIS OF THE RELEVANT FACTS
Organizational Structure:

Under the Manufacturing Department of the Military Jet Engine Division is the Laboratory that reports directly to the manager of the said department and also serves
