Abstract

This is the second of a two case series (503-073-1 and 303-069-1). Beijing FD-Johnson Security Equipment Co (FD-Johnson), a Sino-UK joint- venture, was suffering from outdated concepts and rough-and-tumble management. Though the board decided to implement the ISO 9001 system and MRP II system, these efforts ended in nothing due to the resistance of incumbent managers. After changing five general managers and seven sales directors, the staff''s morale and internal management was negatively influenced. The chairman of the board established a transitional executive committee as a temporal management team in the special time for market expansion. However, how should he implement an effective organisational reform in the next step?
