Ayesha Memorial Hospital (A)
Material type: TextDescription: S68–S75 pSubject(s): In: SHAIKH, SHAZIB Asian Journal of Management CasesSummary: The case is divided into two parts and an epilogue is provided to the students at the end of the discussion. Case A discusses the protagonist Murtaza’s arrival in a hospital that is affected by a hidden power struggle between opposing parties. In an attempt to exercise his influence and improve the hospital’s operations, the protagonist introduces reforms and changes to the hospital’s processes. However, as a result of his increasing influence and knack for not respecting the status quo, he realizes that there are people in the management who feel threatened by his influence and plan to damage his status in the hospital. At the conclusion of Case A, he has been handed a letter that informs him of a disciplinary committee case against him on serious allegations of misuse of authority, torture and even sexual harassment. He is concerned that he has been set-up by his opponents, who have resources and credibility that might make it difficult for him to escape from this situation unscathed. Thus, in the given situation the protagonist weighs his possible options. Case B concerns how the protagonist responds to his disciplinary committee case. Policy changes previously initiated by the protagonist and his alliance with the vice-president serve as important tools. They neutralize the resources that are used by the protagonist’s opponents in an investigation against him. In the end, the protagonist, therefore, successfully comes out of this situation unscathed. The epilogue discusses how the protagonist’s initial alliance with the vice-president, in light of changing circumstances, begins to wither away, as a mutual opposition that they both once shared also begins to weaken.Item type | Current library | Call number | Vol info | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
