Anika, a new manager, is confronted by a dysfunctional organizational culture characterized by employee disrespect, insubordination, and low performance. Her charge is to 'to turn the place around'. The case takes place in a service organization, a testing range run by the US Department of Defense. The staff is a combination of federal and contract employees who test clients' high-tech systems in a sometimes dangerous, desert environment. In addition, there are three vignettes that give a portrait of dysfunctional individual behaviors. Frequently, the response students want to make is 'I'd just fire the guy'. Unfortunately, it is not so simple.
