1. Read the case.

2. Design an intervention that will motivate the employees to work more flexibly and support the modernization of the dairies. Hint: Make sure that you use the material in the text to support your intervention choices. You may also want to bring in outside sources to support the effectiveness of your plan.

3. Identify issues that might affect the success of your proposed intervention and explain how you would address these issues.

4. Create a report to the Board of Directors that clearly articulates your plan and addresses the issues above.

5. Your job is to sell your plan as the one that will lead the organization to success.

Use good report guidelines for completion of this assignment. The final report should be between 2–4 pages.
