It is the continuous process throughout the whole project which helps in completing the work in an effective manner (Dick, et. al., 2017).

6.Drivers are resistance to change which having a negative effect on the company. They have to provide an effective explanation about change and keep the requirements in mind (Payne & Askeland, 2016).

4.

The Fast Track Couriers having a state in terms of practices, policies along with the operational activities which having an impact on the goals of the firm.

a).

In the scenario, it is given that workforce of the company having an adverse impact on the strategic goals of the business entity. If employees are not motivated then they cannot work in a proper manner. The staff members should adopt updated technology such as PDA system in trucks and this means company does not have trust in their employees. The company changes the policy of working that is two members of one member of the truck which affect the working of the drivers.

b).

The distribution process of the business entity is slow and that is the reason by which they are doing the delivery in a long time. Staff members of the firm will not accept the PDA system as it affects the loading and unloading services of man (Alvesson & Sveningsson, 2015).

c).

In the company, workforce is resistant as it adopts the variations in the technology such as installing the GPS system as well as PDA devices. This resistant provide the feeling to the employees that higher authorities do not have a trust in the employees and for that, they have to monitor the working of the staff members. Employees are not willing to adopt this technology and also deliver the result in delaying the orders of consumers.

d).

The general manager of fast-track courier company and it is always on road and the reason is that they are not able to see the working condition of the business entity in the real time as well as this will depend on the working condition of the firm in the real time. So, that it should be based on the report which is sent by the head office as well as drivers so that they can manage the policies. The company does not have effective administration and control over the employees and this will lead to lack of motivation in the staff members so that they can complete the work in an effective manner.

5.

a).

The two external trends which have an impact on the attainment of strategic goals of the firm include:

1.The competitors.

2.Government Policies.

b).

Competitors- If they are using the updated technology, then they can easily convince their staff members that this technology is very much beneficial for them. This technology helps Fast Track Courier company in increasing their market share by doing fast delivery.

Government Policies- If regulatory body change their policies or increase the rate of road tax, then for delivering the orders which aid in resulting the cost and this will also increase the competition as well (Wiegers & Beatty, 2013).

6.

a).

In starting of the company, they are following the policy of two drivers in one truck but at the present time, they are changing the policy that is one driver in one truck. This helps them in comfortable working but it is not suitable for all workers and for that they did strikes. This policy help in providing employment to the other person which they are purchasing.

b).

The companyhaving an opportunity to build the market share in Sydney as well as it boosts the 7.5% share which assists in expanding their business by 8 trucks. This help in increasing the number of trucks.

c).

The drivers who are working in the courier company and this will not willing to do participate in the training and guidance programs for the understanding of PDA devices which assist in decreasing the performance of the staff members. By this, employees of the firm go on strike if firm follows the current policy that is one driver on one truck (Pettigrew, 2013).

d).

When the employees go on strike, then management of the company should change the decision of the current policy to implement. This is the change in the management decision of the administration of fast-track courier company.

8.

As I am working as an HR specialist, they have to identify the change by implementing or executing the policies, then this will help in providing the employment and by that, they can attain the success.  

9.

In the company, the general manager should have informed about all the changes should need in terms of technology, employees, processes as well as structure. Human Resource manager should be informed about the changes which are made to the employees as well as they have to do teamwork in the unity along with the conformity.
