Finally the GM of the Division intervened, took the marketing, win/loss and sales data and defined an aggressive development plan that involved outsourcing part of the development effort. Luckily Medford had an outsourcing division in India and also in the Ukraine which could easily handle the workload.

Conflict over which platform to support at Medford also was leading to a war between Sales, Marketing and Engineering. The CTO had often said he was waiting to retire which further angered the Sales VP, who was on a comp plan where 40% of his salary was based on delivering new solutions to ERP customers on time. In response to this conflict which was more organizationally-based than just technology-driven, I'd give the CTO an early buy-out offer as he had often argued against any kind of technological change on behalf of customers.

325). Robertson & Tang (1998) demonstrate through systematic analysis how commitment in an organization can be empirically measured and how organizations can use that information to improve organizational structures, systems, behaviors and thought processes. This can only be achieved through consistent, objective and systematic processes that automatically work to support a more diverse and functioning work environment. Q4.
