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.
