were raised. "Do you have division goals assigned by the president to you for next
year ?"The Finance Manager wanted to know.
"No, I do not," the division manager replied. "l have been waiting for the president's
office to tell me what is expected, but they act as if they will do nothing about the
matter."
"What is the division to do, then ?"The manager of production asked, rather hoping
that no action would be indicated.
"l intend to list my expectations for the division," the division manager said. "There is
not much mystery about them. I expect $ 30 million in sales ; a profit on sales before
taxes of 8 percent ; a return on investment of 15 percent ; an ongoing program in
effect by June 30, with specific characteristics I will list later, to develop our own
future managers ; the completion of development work on our XZ model by the end
of the year ; and stabilization of employee turnover at 5 percent."
The staff was stunned that their superior had thought through to these verifiable
objectives and stated them with such clarity and assurance. They were also surprised
about his sincerity in wanting to achieve them.
"During the next month I want each of you to translate these objectives into verifiable
goals for your own functions, Naturally they will be different for finance, marketing,
production, engineering, and administration. However you state them, I will expect
them to add up to the realization of the division goals."

Can a division manager develop verifiable goals, or objectives, when the president
has not assigned them to him or her ? How ? What kind of information or help
do you believe is important for the division manager to have from headquarters ?
Was the division manager setting goals in the best way ? What would you have
done ?

The Economic Times,22 October 2000, reported that Reliance Industries entered
into a swap deal for the export and import of 36 cargoes of naphtha over the next
six months. Accordingly, three cargoes of 50,000 tonnes each were to be exported
every month from Reliance Petroleum's Jamnagar refinery and three cargoes of
the same amount were to be imported to the Reliance Industries' Haziraiacility.
The deal was done through Japanese traders Mitsubishi, Marubeni, ltochu,
ldOmitsu and Shell. The export was done at around Arabian Gulf prices
plus 922.
Reliance, needs petrochemical grade naphtha for its Hazira facility which is not
being produced at Jamnagar. Therefore, its cracker at Hazira gets petrochemicat
grade naphtha from the international markets in return for Reliance Petroleum
selling another grade of naphtha from its Jamnagar refinery to the international
oiltrade.
lf RIL imports naphtha for Hazira petrochemical plant, the company does not
have to pay the 24 per cent sales tax, which ii will have to pay on a local
purchase, even if it is from Reliance Petro. Besides, Reliance Petro willalso get
a 1.0 per cent duty drawback on its crude imports if it exports naphtha from the
refinery at Jamnagar.
The export of naphtha with Japanese traders is being looked as a coup for
Reliance as it gives the company an entry into the targe Japanese market.
Indian refineries have a freight advantage over the Singapore market and can
quote better prices.
Questions:
4) Should reliance import and export naphtha even if it does not provide any
profit advantage ?

command. Mukherji found that many employees who used the open-door policy
had been with the company for years and were comfortable talking to the president.
Sometimes messages came through about inadequate policies and procedures.
Mukherji would raise these issues and explain any changes at the next senior
managers' meeting. The most difficult complaints to handle were those from people
who were not getting along with their bosses.
One employee, Anand, complained bitterly that his manager had over committed
on behalf of the department and put everyone undertremendous pressure. Anand
argued that long hours and low morale were major problems. H6wever, he would
not allow Mukherjito either bring the manager into the discussion or seek out other
employees to confirm the complaint. Although Mukherii suspected that Anand might
be right, he could not letthe matter lie and said, 'Have you considered leaving the
company ?' This made Anand realizethat a meeting with his immediate boss was
unavoidable.
