PLANNING

2.0 PLANNING
In order to achieve the goal that have been set up in Mybride, we have make a
planning which is process of setting goals and defining the action necessary that lead
to it. We have set up our own goals in our company include short term goals and long
term goals. We also develop mission statement that provides strategic direction to the
members of an organization and keeps them focused on common goals. The objectives
of our organization are target towards which Mybride is directed. In developing
Mybride, we have to concern about specific organization situation that typically do not
recur. So we have design single use plan to meet the unique situation. Here we state
the mission statement, goals, objectives and single use plan that have been set up:
2.1 MISSION STATEMENT
Mybride is a services company that provided various type of wedding package. For
instance bride suite, canopy, make-up, catering services, photography, wedding card
and wedding gift. This company focused on the middle and upper income customers
as a target market. We also have the best strategy, which is provided the most satisfied
services which great package and discount.
2.2 GOALS
Mybride is established with its own goal which is want to expand our bride gallery to
the international level so that it can be well-known and famous company that provide
the best services for customer. Mybride will compete with another bride gallery
towards developing attractive integrated commercial product and services which our
customer can fully enjoy, such as latest fashion and designs of wedding package. We
9
will generate more profits for the services provided by Mybride. To fulfill or realize
the goal, Mybride has set up the necessary action to achieve this goal. In the future,
Mybride not only will be in Malaysia, but also in Paris, London and other states.
2.3 OBJECTIVES
We have set up the objectives for Mybride to guide for decision making, organization
efficiency and consistency, as well as performance evaluation. Objectives of Mybride
are achieves the goals to develop our company to be a famous and well-known in
Malaysia and other state. We have to make sure that our staffs are well train. Objective
is the prime part of plan in Mybride because all the activities in Mybride are focused
on these objectives.
2.4 SINGLE USE PLAN
As a big company, Mybride has set up the way to indentify a specific organizational
situation that does not recur. That why, single use plan is specifically design to make
the needs of the unique situation. Since, the situation is investigates, we have develop
the alternative to solve the problem. One of the examples of the uncertainty condition
is theft. We have chooses several solution that lead to this problem. For the example
use the technology or human effort such as use close-circuit television (CCTV) or
security guard. In case to avoid theft, a decision making has been made which is to put
on close-circuit television (CCTV). There are several differences between close-circuit
television (CCTV) and security guard that cause we choose close-circuit television
(CCTV):
CLOSE-CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV) SECURITY GUARD
Control the whole gallery
Cheaper
(RM2000 once)
More efficient
Limited to control the whole
gallery
Expensive
(salary=RM800×per month)
Less efficient
10
The reason we choose to put on the close-circuit television (CCTV) because there are
more advantages rather than hire the security guard. Although, the close-circuit
television (CCTV) is more expensive but it is valuable to have it based on its function.
Cost to put on the close-circuit television (CCTV) is about RM2000 each (include the
installation). The close-circuit television (CCTV) is more flexible.

LEADING19
4.0 LEADING
4.1 LEADERSHIP
Leadership is the process of directing and influencing the task related activities of
group members in Mybride. Leadership is important in Mybride to encourage
teamwork and motivate employee to generate good work. That why we have chose
situational leadership approached that focuses on situational factors influencing
managerial style.
4.2 SITUATIONAL APPROACH OF LEADERSHIP
In clarifying the path, leaders may be directive or give vague hints. In removing
roadblocks, they may scour the path or help the follower move the bigger blocks. In
increasing rewards, they may give occasional encouragement or pave the way with
gold. This variation in approach will depend on the situation, including the follower's
capability and motivation, as well as the difficulty of the job and other contextual
factors. The styles of the leaders in Mybride will depend on situational factors such as
leader member relation, task structure, position power, employees characteristic,
experience, and expectation as well as Mybride structure and policies. The theory that
leads to the situational leadership approached is path goal theory.
20
4.2.1 PATH GOAL THEORY
The Path-Goal Theory of Leadership was developed in Mybride to describe the way that
leaders encourage and support their followers in achieving the goals they have been set
by making the path that they should take clear and easy.There are four styles of
leadership in path goal theory:
i. Supportive leadership
Supportive leadership considering the needs of the follower, showing concern for
their welfare and creating a friendly working environment. This includes
increasing the follower's self-esteem and making the job more interesting. This
approach is best when the work is stressful, boring or hazardous. Specific advice
is given to the group and ground rules and structure are established. For example,
when the followers lack of self confidence, leader will be courteous and friendly
to them. They will be more concern for being and needs. They also have to be
open and approachable. Leaders need to balance equal treatment with status. As a
result, it will increase the confidence to achieve work outcome among the
employees.
ii. Directive leadership
Telling followers what needs to be done and giving appropriate guidance along
the way. This includes giving them schedules of specific work to be done at
specific times. Rewards may also be increased as needed and tell them what they
should be do. This may be used when the task is unstructured and complex and
the follower is inexperienced. This increases the follower's sense of security and
control and hence is appropriate to the situation. Good relations are promoted with
the group and sensitivity to subordinates' needs is shown. For example, when the
employees of Mybride in the situation of ambiguous job. Leaders have to tell
what is expected, how and when to do it and how to fits with others. They must
scedule, procedure and regulate the task. This action will lead to clarity path to
reward.
21
iii. Participative leadership
Consulting with followers and taking their ideas into account when making
decisions and taking particular actions. This approach is best when the followers
are expert and their advice is both needed and they expect to be able to give it.
Decision making is based on consultation with the group and information is
shared with the group. For example, in the situation of incorrect reward,
employees can share work problems, solicit suggestions and concerns. Leaders
also should include them in decision making. By doing these, leaders can clarify
the followers need and change rewards.
iv. Achievement-oriented leadership
Setting challenging goals, both in work and in self-improvement (and often
together). High standards are demonstrated and expected. The leader shows faith
in the capabilities of the follower to succeed. This approach is best when the task
is complex.Challenging goals are set and high performance is encouraged while
confidence is shown in the groups' ability. For example, some employees feel that
the jobs given to them are lack of challenge. So, leaders should set the
challenging goals and seek continuous improvement. Leaders have to expect
highest performance from the employees. Both of employees and leaders must
confident in effort and achievement. As a result, the goals set up by Mybride are
high and full of satisfaction.
22
CONTROLING
23
5.0 CONTROL
5.1 Organizational control
Organizational control is the systematic process which managers regulate activities in
Mybride to make them consistent with the expectations established in plans and to
help manager to achieve all predetermined standards of performance. Managers must
include the process of control adopted by Mybride.
5.1.1 Control method
In providing services to customer, Mybride has set up control focal points to controls
and regulate organizational activities. Control focal point was set up to make sure that
activities in Mybride are consistent with the expectations establish in plan. We have
concern about the input, transformation process and output. First of all, we have found
the supplier to supply the wedding stuff to our company like canopy, wedding dress,
photography, catering, bridal suit, wedding card and make-up. In order to give services
to our customer, we must have our own stuff. So, we have buys completed equipment
of wedding to give services. We also hire an experienced worker to fill with position
in Mybride. For examples, we have hired graduation workers to be photographer in
providing wedding services. In generating input, we have to consider about
feedforward control. After that, we make the transformation process for equipment
24
that focuses on concurrent control. We have decorates our gallery to look different
from other gallery so that people being more attracted to our gallery. Then, we make
grading for each of our product to give services so that can fulfill the satisfaction of
the customer. Other than that, we have advertises of our services through mass media.
For example, we have our own website to share the information of wedding services in
Mybride. So, for those who are interested, they can search at http://mybride.com.my .
Lastly, we have generates output from the customer. For those who are coming at our
gallery will make decision either to use our services or others. Feedback control needs
to be considers because it leads to the customer satisfaction. As a result, customer will
ask for our services.
5.1.2 Control Process
The control process in Mybride involves carefully collecting information
about a system, process, person, or group of people in order to make
necessary decisions about each. Managers set up control systems that consist
of four key steps:
i. Establish standards to measure performance.
Within Mybride overall strategic plan, general managers define goals for
organizational departments in specific, operational terms that include
standards of performance to compare with organizational activities.
ii. Measure actual performance.
Mybride has prepared formal reports of performance measurements that
manager review regularly. These measurements have been related to the
standards set in the first step of the control process. For example, if sales
growth is a target, the organization should have a means of gathering and
reporting sales data.
iii. Compare performance with the standards.
25
This step compares actual activities to performance standards. When
managers read computer reports or walk through their plans, they identify
whether actual performance meets, exceeds, or falls short of standards.
Typically, performance reports simplify such comparison by placing the
performance standards for the reporting period alongside the actual
performance for the same period and by computing the variance, that is,
the difference between each actual amount and the associated standard.
iv. Take corrective actions.
When performance deviates from standards, managers must determine
what changes, if any, are necessary and how to apply them. In the
productivity and quality-centered environment, workers and managers are
often empowered to evaluate their own work. After the evaluator
determines the cause or causes of deviation, manager can take the fourth
step to make corrective action. The most effective course may be
prescribed by policies or may be best left up to employees' judgment and
initiative.
5.1.3 C ontrolling activities
In Mybride, there are exist controlling activities to control all the process that
happens in our organization. For example, we have set the performance standards
in Mybride which is the satisfaction of the customer will be the first priority in
given services. This performance standard is related to the goals of Mybride. After
that, we will measure the actual performance either our staff give the best services
to the customer or not, and either it is related to the standard or not. Our manager
has makes a report of the performance measurement. We have put the services
growth as our target. Mybride has calculates the means by gathering sales data.
26
Then, we have compared the actual performance of our staff with performance
standard by comparing the report of the actual performance with the performance
standard. The satisfaction of the customer is about 75% rather than the
performance standard that have been set up which is 80%. We have detected that
the actual performance of our staff cannot give the higher satisfaction of the
customer because customer feel that our services is quite expensive. So, we have
to make corrective action. In order to solve the problem, we make the initiative to
deal with the customer about the price first before we give services to them. We
will give the services which is affordable for them to seek of our services. For the
customer satisfaction, we will give the opportunity to them to state the price that
they need, then we will tell them what they can get from our services based on
that price. So, our customer will have their satisfaction.
