Executive Summary
This report provides an analysis of Porsche’s task and mega environments, as well as its HRM practices and leadership policies. It was established that experiences various challenges in its mega environment such as changing government regulations; frequent technological changes; fluctuating economic conditions; and changing societal expectations. The major competitors in the automobile industry, including Toyota, Hyundai, General Motors, and Ford constitute a major challenge in its task environment. The company has adopted a comprehensive and rigorous selection and recruitment process that facilitates the HR department to hire highly qualified employees. Its strong corporate culture has also enabled the company to achieve superior productivity and increased employee commitment and morale. The key weakness in its leadership practices is its emphasis overreliance on, task-oriented leadership approaches at the expense of relationship-oriented approaches. A number of recommendations were made that will enable the company to foster its leadership approaches, organizational culture, and HRM policies. Similarly, recommendations were also made to help it in dealing with the challenges in its task and mega environments.
