- 1. Case study on decision making and delegation
2. Decision making
- Many Companies work in a professional manner and givesauthority
to take decisions
- But some Companies boasts about this and still have power with
top boss and others should just follow what is told to do.
- OR they take decision and this has to be implemented in all
perspective
- OR they would have already pre conceived ideas andforce you to
implement what is in their mind.
3. Decision making
- In this presentation I am trying to project live examples which
really happened in one of the organisation but with slight touch of
humour
- This also does not mean that HR guys can not make decision on
their own.
- What ever the decision given by the top, the HR guy has to
weigh the pros and cons and implement.
- Should feel the pulse of the people before implementing or
suggesting new ideas.
- Should be able to communicate to the top the practicality of
any new idea or method
4. Case study : 1

the menu of canteen
- He called the HR guy and told him to have Canteen committee
meetingand discuss about this.
- The HR guy called for a meeting and suggested this
- But the question came when to give the banana During the Break
fast time or during lunch ?. All were hesitating to take a
decision.
- HR guy told wait,wait I will ask MD and come back
5. Case study : 1 contd
- He came back and said, MD has told us to give during Lunch
time.
- But again one more question Came up is it before lunch or after
lunch ?
- HR guy told wait,wait I will ask MD and come back
- He came back and said, MD has told us to give after lunch as
fruits are eaten after lunch
- But again one more question came up whether to give green
ripebananas or yellow ripe bananas ?
6. Case study :1 contd
- HR guy told wait, wait I will ask MD and come back
- He came back and said, let us give yellow ripe banana as it is
good for health.

peeled and kept in the plate or the whole fruit to be kept ?
- HR guy told wait, wait I will ask MD and come back
- He came back and said MD has told us to peeland keep itso that
it will save time and they can go back to work fast.
7. Case study :1 contd
