Mr. Dodds works in a bank, and lives by himself. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Dodds does not see his sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas cards, and he has not forgotten one of Mark's seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr. Dodds had quite a surprise. He drove home from his office at the usual time, driving neither too slow nor too fast; he parked his car where he always perked it, out of the way of other cars, and he went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Dodds opened the door, to find a policeman standing on the door step.
"What have I done wrong?" Mr. Dodds asked himself. "Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the office? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?"
"Hello, Uncle." said the policeman. "My name's Mark."

In the world of tennis, the London International Tennis Tournament ended today. Samuel Cox of the United States was the winner with Lloyd Smith, of Great Britain, finishing second. Cox scored a decisive victory over Smith in his first major victory outside the United States. His victory also marked the first time that an American has won the London Tennis Tournament in over fifty years. The only other American to win it was Fred Jackson in 1938. Cox won the tournament quickly in three sets. He started out playing aggressively, and the overwhelmed Smith could not keep up with its overpowering serves. Cox took home the $ 500,000 cash prize and Smith received $ 350,000. When asked about the big victory, Cox stated he just hopes to be able to win again in next month's tournaments in Paris and Copenhagen.
In the world of soccer, Cuba upset Germany, last year's winner, in the opening games of the International Soccer Cup. The Cuban team won in a difficult match that lasted over five hours. The match was intense, and their victory shocked many who believed that the German team could easily defeat the relatively obscure Cuban team. The German coach, noticeably disappointed at their first, round loss, told reporters that he hopes to train his team harder for next year's tournament. Cuba will play Brazil in the next game tomorrow. Overjoyed at their surprise victory, they hope to continue this winning streak and eventually capture the tournament.

of selling cars to the public which takes advantage of the greater freedom given to independent car distributors to
market cars more aggressively within the European Union. This reduces the traditional control and interference of the
automobile manufacturers, some of whom own their distributors. He has opened a number of showrooms in the
London region and by 2004 Auto Direct had 20 outlets in and around London. The concept is deceptively simple;
Mark buys cars from wherever he can source them most cheaply and has access to all of the leading volume car
models. He then concentrates on selling the cars to the public, leaving servicing and repair work to other specialist
garages. He offers a classic high volume/low margin business model.
Mark now wants to develop this business model onto a national and eventually an international basis. His immediate
plans are to grow the number of outlets by 50% each year for the next three years. Such growth will place
considerable strain on the existing organisation and staff. Each showroom has its own management team, sales
personnel and administration. Currently the 20 showrooms are grouped into a Northern and Southern Sales Division
with a small head office team for each division. Auto Direct now employs 250 people.
Mark now needs to communicate the next three-year phase of the company’s ambitious growth plans to staff and is
anxious to get an understanding of staff attitudes towards the company and its growth plans. He is aware that you
are a consultant used to advising firms on the changes associated with rapid growth and the way to generate positive
staff attitudes to change.
Required:
(a) Using appropriate strategies for managing change provide Mark with a brief report on how he can best create
a positive staff response to the proposed growth plans. (12 marks)
