Dilemma
As an organization grows, it faces intense competition from its competitors. When Charles
founded the first Christian Wholesale Store and Pharmacy, he knew he would be competing
against the big retail stores. However, his goal was to open a store in which the prices were low,
founded on Christian values and principles, customers could hear Christian music playing, and
even could praise in the middle of the aisle. The bonus of the store included credit for folks that
were struggling, and unable to pay for their medication. The Christian community is able to
donate and give to individuals unable to pay for their medication. Charles wanted it to look like
one in the Body of Christ working together. Charles prayed daily because His desire was to show
Christ’s love to all. In the first two years, the store grew so rapidly, that Charles had to move to a
larger location. He had to hire a Human Resource Director and hire new staff. It was everything
he prayed for; the store grew so quickly that it was even featured on the news. The Christian
store centered on Christ’s principles to “Love thy Neighbor”. The store grew from 5 employees
to 300 employees and with this growth unexpected problems and opportunities that Charles,
never dreamed of, started to occur, and some of the most serious issues included:
· Should Charles take on investors?
· Unethical Employees
· A Merger Opportunity
· Criticism Against the Store
· Lying and False Statements
· Several Employees with attendance issues
· Leadership Issues
· Staffing and Managements personnel problems
· Stealing and Fraud from one of the managers
· Demands for Products
· Uncertainty regarding some pharmaceutical companies
You are Charles’s best friend, and you are also the human resource director. Charles asked for
your help and advice. He also stated he needs examples of a person in the Bible with people
issues and asked for spiritual guidance. In addition, he asked you for assistance with a strategy
and a strategic direction that could address employee issues.
