Promoting Enterprise Awareness

George L. Roth and Anthony J. DiBella

Chapter Chapter 3 in Systemic Change Management, 2015, pp 47-70 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Ariens Company is a small corporation compared to many of the organizations written about in this book. Its enterprise changes, in terms of their size and complexity, are on a different scale from those experienced in larger organizations but nonetheless illustrate the same concepts. Ariens made changes that enabled it to compete against larger companies that produce similar products, like John Deere and Honda, which hold cost advantages from economies of scale and sourcing from low-labor cost countries. Ariens learned to manufacture competitive products with American workers, managers, and engineers who learned to work smarter to improve quality and grow revenues.
