A:
The manufacturing company is going through significant growth in the
industry. It is not without its issues. The organization needs to change, using the
organizational life cycle model to help with continued achievement. Every stage has
a setback that must be dealt with before moving on to the next stage. Based on the
organizational life cycle model, this company is in stage four. The hierarchical top-
down system that the organization operates on is obstructing its growth. Leaders
need to focus on innovation if they want to support growth, and they will do this by
listening to employees' suggestions and applying them. They need to bridge
between all of their departments to proceed with innovation and be able to compete
in the global market. The company's processes are antiquated, and the way they do
things needs to improve. Also, employees need to have continuing training.

B:
A traditional organization has a hierarchy that starts with upper management, and
it's predicated on their vision. It fosters downward communication and commands
others in lesser roles. At the same time, a learning organization is all about
incorporating employees' ideas, listening to feedback, and ongoing improvement.
The difference between a learning organization and a traditional organization is that
in a traditional organization, the vision for the whole company is set by
management at the top. Whereas in a learning organization, all employees have a
shared vision that everyone embraces.
B1:
At the moment, the company is in the Developing stage.
B1a:
At this stage, the organization needs the inclusion of employees to have a voice
within the company, and training is required to bring these changes to the
establishment's culture. Suppose they want to strive to make it to the mature stage.
In that case, it is necessary to bring on a change management specialist to help
guide the implementation of the adjustments and training proposals.
