  Additional Case 2.1
  Benson Manufacturing is a young, small firm that makes computer components and peripherals for assemblers like Dell and Gateway.

The firm has two layers of management between the CEO and the component maker on the line.
 
  The firm's CEO read a book about innovation and organizational change and now wants to look at what HR should do about reorganizing and changing staffing practices. The CEO wants to reduce costs in order to increase profit margins because he believes that margins will continue to shrink.
