Strategy & Leadership Cisco Manages

Question: Describe about the Cisco manages contradictions that drive growth and profit for Strategy Leadership? Answer: Introduction The implementation of this hardware in the company may have an adverse effect if the prerequisites for that particular are not being checked before the installation. The major problem that arises is it is a time consuming procedure as different engineers use different equipments for installation (Davidson, 2011). This document will provide with an outline to overcome this situation of high time consumption and other related issues that are being faced during installation. As, the demand is rising in the recent days so to maintain the demand and supply chain proper measures should be taken to solve the issues of installation of the hardware. Review of Process The current process that is being adapted for the installation of this hardware is very slow due to the inefficiency of the engineers. So, as to speed up this process the technical group can be divided into three sets of engineers like freshers, experienced in the industry and experts for this particular process (Kowalik, 2014). The process of analysis was done from the review of the customers and the report of the sales department which depicted that the economic condition of the company has degraded over the years. From the previous researches, it is found that with the increase in complaints there is also increase in demand and proper measures should be taken to eliminate errors that could hamper the growth of the company. The implementation of this hardware in the company can slow the business process of the company and hamper the business continuity. The other issues that can persist apart from the installation time particularly in respect to this hardware is its compatibility w ith the hardware and software being used by the company (Makarov, Ostanin Vaitkov, 2014). Also, there is an issue of memory management to install the hardware as t may require a large amount of memory else will slow down the processing speed of the hardware thus slowing down the business continuity. Another problem that may arise is the system crash or the router crashes that can happen due to many unavoidable circumstances like reboots or reloads and bus error crashes. Thus it is important to detect and solve the issues that may prevent the continuity of the business in an organization (Ogheneovo, 2014). Report Analysis and Study The report was designed on the basis of a discussion conducted with a sales team of an organization that helped to identify the major problems that were being faced by the team. According to the statistics provided by the sales team, the sales have increased to a remarkable rate but as the increase in sell there also has been increase in complaints. This report showed that there are both advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of the hardware. So, as to maintain the demand and supply chain accurate measures have to be taken to prevent the discontinuity in the business process. The implementation of this particular series of router requires an expert team of technicians who have been working in the installation for years. The below mentioned chart shows increase in sales but the original fact that lies behind is the decreasing customer attraction due to the problems arising during the installation (Wang, Zhang Sun, 2014). The process of installation is slow in respect to o ther equipments or other router vendors. This is the most important fact that has to be kept in mind to improve the quality of business and retain the growth of the organization. As seen, during the first two years the sales was low due to the fact it was not understood by the customers and as the awareness grew the sales also increased effectively (Wilson, 2010). Recommendation This part of the document focuses on the methods that can be used to overcome the problems that arise from the installation of the new hardware in the company. The recommendations to solve the above discussed problems can be divide into following points: Proper human resource This can be done by appointing of proper technicians like fresher or experienced who could do the installation in the proper manner. Assessment of requirements This can be done by evaluating the software or hardware required prior to the installation. Detection of error messages Proper error decoding tools should be used by the customers. Identification of the issue There should be a technical team appointed in the company and contract should be made with the installation vendor for 24 hours support.Collection of error logs The system logs for error messages should be collected for proper identification of the problem. System Crashes or router reboots This may happen due to a bug or error in any programs that are being run in the system and the error log should be forwarded to the technical team for further analysis. Thus, the problems that arise due to installation of the hardware can be resolved by the following methods for continuity in the business process (Zhang, Yin, He Zhong, 2011). Conclusion This must be considered as an important aspect for business continuity and to resolve the problems arising during the installation. The methods in which the problems can be resolved are proper management of the technical staffs involved in the installation process. As well as keeping a regular backup of the total information system that is being used by the company. And the most important thing is to check the software or hardware requirements and whether the available memory will suffice with requirements for installation. So, during the process of redesign to implement this hardware the technical, economical and beneficial factors should be kept in mind for the continuity in the business process. References Cass, S.
