5. Mr. Ram Dayal Mathur is working as an Assistant Director in the Telecommunication dept of the Govt. of India. He got married rather late in life and had children at a later age. He calculated that by the time he retires his youngest son would only be 16 yrs. He realised he’d need to work another 4 – 5 yrs to support his family. He decides to move to a private sector and so does a part time MBA and even clears with an A grade. He gets a really good offer from a private telecomm firm for the position of Deputy General Manager (DGM). He is told that if he joins the firm within the next 45 days he can be part of a program that trains 5
DGM and promotes them to a higher position. In the meantime a friend calls him to advise
that the Govt is about to revise the pay commission and if he resigns after 2 – 3 months later he can leave with a higher pension and gratuity. Now Mr. Mathur is confused because if he doesn’t join the private firm quickly, the younger guys will be promoted over him. What

15. Mr. Laxman is a supervisor in XYZ ltd. which is an electrical company. He has 4 foremen who work under him. The job of a foreman has a lot of field work which requires travelling to different places every day. Hence the company has provided every foreman with a motorcycle. The company had promised Mr. Laxman that they will provide new bikes to all his foremen, but now the company has provided him with only one new Bajaj Pulsar 150cc bike. Mr. Laxman is now in a fix as to whom should he consider among the four for the new vehicle.
Mr. Parag (40): Has been working with the company for the last 15 years. Currently has a Bajaj
CT100. Being the senior most in the team he has to travel minimum among the four. He expects the supervisor to consider his seniority and give him the new bike.
Mr. Suraj (21): The star performer among the four. He has recently joint the company. Currently has a TVS Centra. The bike is not in a very good condition, but still runs smoothly. He
has to travel extensively everyday. He thinks he deserves the bike.
Mr. Bhalla (35): Been with the company for 7 years. He has a Yamaha RX 100. He has been complaining recently about his bike. But in terms of performance he hasn’t been very impressive and has been below average. His bike isn’t in very good condition either.
Mr. Tarun (28): Has been very good at his work. He also handles emergency calls. Currently has a Hero Honda splendour. But he has always been complaining about his bike. He has been
working with the company for 8 years.
The foremen relate very warmly with these vehicles and consider them as a matter of prestige when compared to their co workers. Thus they are very sensitive as to who is given which motorcycle. You have to decide as whom Mr. Laxman should give this bike to.
