As the Vice-president and General Manager of Haworth Asia Pacific, Frank Rexach was faced with the challenge of leading through a series of changes: moving the Asia Pacific headquarters from Hong Kong to Shanghai; integrating Marketing into Operations in the plant; localising product development and production; building a cohesive and high-performing regional management team. Frank was about to formulate the short- and long-term plans for further change and development, what should he include in the plan? Students may approach the case with various strategic organisational change and development models and/or from the perspective of various leadership models.
