Head Quarters (HQ) business is much more efficient than branches?

 

Big Companies Unseen problems?

 

a)      Branches would keep the entire unnecessarily stock or raw material if HQ does the ISO.

         By pushing rubbish to the branches, and keep the HQ clean for ISO.

 

b)      HQ requests engineer from a branch and charge it at local rate.

         While a branch request a HQ engineer that would be charge at HQ rate.

 

c)       HQ requests a new tool from a branch for usage. No charge at all.

          Once return, the branch upkeeps the tools for wear and tear.

 

d)                Branch has a great manpower (smart) inside the company, so HQ is taking over this guy.

This great guy of course is the important asset of the branch company but turn into HQ.

 

e)      Senior of HQ and Senior of Branch do not come along in terms of solving problem.

          a) Senior of HQ are only verbally action and reluctant to assist branch operation.

          b) Finding fault on each other such as the issue of faithfulness to the company

 

f)       HQ shares cost of advertising with branches nationally.

          At first it should be a logically reason. However, branches could save more cost by

          advertising locally instead of nationally, as branches mostly requires lower executives.

 

g)      HQ is high tech with technologies, so the branches also need to have those high technologies.

         This is also a method to pressure branches to make more profit to cover operating expenses.

         We all know that normally HQ having years of experience, they could afford the technologies,

         however pressuring branches to cope with the advancement is unfair due to local demand's

         differences.
 

h)      HQ is fussy about the product costing, or services being charged by local companies to

         the branches. To the worst, HQ is suspecting local branches is taking advantage on the

         prices being quoted by local companies.

         To avoid argument between branches and HQ, HQ should act promptly and provide services

         without creating doubts over the branch operations, or else better shut up, as it does

         create tension.
 

i)      Would you accept that the fact HQ is less efficient than the branches?

        Therefore, HQ mostly using brain power to proof HQ has better performance than branches,

        with unseen methods as listed above.

 

 

Everyone forgets about the teamwork, the fairness, the business while relying too much on financial control on HQ and on branches that serves no purpose on company’s internal development and company’s business development.
