Case Study of Prestige Business
Proper management is essential for the success of an organization. Management, which is
the result of effectiveness and the efficiency accrued from doing things the right way in an
organization, can be traced in 530BC (Aithal 3). It has been in existence for as long as
organizations and businesses have (Aithal 4). Management acts as catalyzing forces through
which things get done by people. Without management in an organization, resources become
unproductive as the organization will be simply a bevy of men, money, and machines (Aithal 8).
While Prestige hired competent employees who have a taste of fashion, the organization is still
facing a myriad of problems. Prestige is facing the effects of negative organizational culture, the
inadequacy of empowerment, and a lack of human resource management.
Organization culture
Negative organizational culture affects a business. It is a type of business culture that is
disorganized, has unethical practices, and its activities are too causal. Statics by CultureIQ show
that 73% of business owners believe that a positive organizational culture gives a business a
competitive rank (Cabana 5). While Prestige had invested in good organizational culture, a poor
business culture had crept in and overwhelmed employees. Negative business culture fosters the
development of careless approaches among the staff. It also creates a hyper-competition scheme.

Employees will compete among themselves for customers or to get work done. Working in such
a business environment propagates a lack of ethical behaviors in handling customers and services
Cabana 13). It is the type of culture that has developed in Prestige characterized by employees
mishandling customers while competing for them. Few numbers of customers are visiting
Prestige business as a result of this unethical culture. Clients and customers prefer an
environment where ethics are upheld. An antagonistic culture is a force that impacts the
productivity of a business, and precautions to mitigate it ought to be taken seriously.
Empowerment of employees
Inadequacy of empowerment affects a business negatively. A business owner has to
instill motivation among his or her employees as it is linked directly to organizational success.
