Analysis and Areas of Consideration First we have to consider the organizational structure of the restaurant.

The managers are in the middle of a mainstream but more percentages on the multi-stream management style. Thus, they are still using some of the mainstream practices. As of now the structure is centralized in transition to departmentalization. Centralization is having the decision-making authority rest with managers at the top of an organizations hierarchy; this ensures orderly deference among members. On the other hand, departmentalization emphasizes on grouping members and resources; this ensures that members work together harmoniously (Dyck & Neubert, 2012). We believe the decision of the owner to train supervisors and departmentalize the restaurant would help them easily embodies the Japanese ethics (multi-stream thinking) to their employees. As multi-stream managers as well we may also take a look on participation. Participation refers to the emphasis on mutual discernment and the process of giving stakeholders a voice in how the organization is managed and how jobs are performed (Dyck & Neubert, 2012). This is what the owners want. Where employees participate and ensure that they work together harmoniously. Second consideration is the workplace culture of seniority. Workplace culture can be seen as a set of rules, both formal and informal, that govern workplace behaviour. This includes how employees dress and talk as well as more important issues, such as how they set and meet goals, handle challenges, recover from setbacks and advance within the organization (Ceridian, 2007). The restaurant has a seniority culture. Seniority is used as a means of gauging the relative status of one employee with respect to another based on length of service. As an employee's seniority grows, he or she accrues certain rights and privileges. In this case the senior use their privileges to give some of the dirty work like cleaning to the new employees. Instead of working together they have used the unwritten privilege to their advantage. Theres no doubt that an employees longevity in an organization can be beneficial. However if they continue to use this organizational goals may be affected. We should be able to eliminate this culture to attain a mainstream environment.

Alternative Course of Action Team Building Team building is basically the selection, development and collective motivation of a team. A team is a group of people who are joined together with a common goal or objective. This can be done once a year to develop the camaraderie of the employees. Advantages 1. Working relationships will be developed People have to work together and by doing so the employees will develop more effective working relationships with team members who are new to the team and with team members who have been part of the team for some time. 2. Shared positive experience The whole day is very memorable, team members will be talking about it for the rest of the year. As such colleagues will share a positive and memorable experience which further develops bonds. 3. Strengths and talents Everyone gets fully involved in the day and their are lots of different roles so team workers will see their colleagues in a whole new light and will have a greater understanding of their strengths and talents. 4. Teamwork Everything during the team building day clearly requires teamwork and as such team members will leave with a greater awareness of how teams work and how to make them work better. 5. Reward Staff enjoy the day and feel that the company cares about them.

Disadvantages 1. It is difficult to assess the performance of an individual's role in a team. 2. Some of the members might be free riders. 3. Coordination costs are very high while team building as management has o spend a lot of costs to find and put together appropriate team members.

Add benefits through Team/ Branch of the Month. The designation, Employee of the Month, is an organizations positive effort to recognize an employees achievements and contributions. Employee of the Month is an organizational recognition that companies have used - both successfully - and unsuccessfully - for years. In our case we will have team or branch of the month to motivate them to work together and not only their own. Good teams make the most of individual talents. Where one member may be weak, another might be strong and working together they provide the perfect resource for an organization. The more people work together, the more they learn and step away to become better workers in their own jobs. Teams can create better communication and respectful relationships among employees. Advantages 1. Motivation The primary advantage to employee benefits is motivation. They are motivated to work together rather work on their own. Disadvantage 1. These can be an added cost for the owners 2. Seniority culture may not be eliminated. They will work as a team on the outside but internally bullying may still exist.

Employee Empowerment and Encourage Participation through everyday meeting Employee empowerment is the act of giving more responsibility to employees in the workplace. The process not only relieves stress on management but also, according to Dr. Nihat Karakoc of Balikesir University, is "rather closely related to the various concepts and techniques designed to democratize the workplace." Employee empowerment, just like any other managerial strategy, has both positive and negative aspects when implemented.

Advantage 1. Employees can become more involved in their work and thereby more satisfied with what they are doing. This effect will trickle down, as more satisfied employees will work in a way to make customers more satisfied also. 2. Employees will know their duties and responsibilities every day thus will avoid bullying.

3. Improve the quality of the work of the team. They will know the everyday goal of the restaurant. They will also have a say on improving the services of the company. Disadvantage 1. Employees Not Ready Some employees may not be ready to be empowered. Employees may not be able to handle the increased stress that the added responsibility and decision making will bring. Some employees may also take advantage of their new responsibility and abuse their power. It is important to make sure that employees are completely ready for, and informed of, their new responsibilities before they are assigned.
