GTE Government Systems Mobile Subscriber Equipment Division
The government systems division is going through a good deal of change as the government changes the way it does its business and is cutting its expenditures. There are many questions around the issue of what the organization should do and how it should structure itself for the future.
Background and Issues
GTE is a multinational corporation renowned for leadership and innovation in its three core businesses: telecommunications, lighting, and precision materials. Boasting in excess of $17 billion in annual sales, GTE employs more than 158,000 employees world-wide.
Under this corporate umbrella stands GTE Government Systems - a pioneer in the advancement of Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence in the Federal Government. From its earliest work with radar and countermeasures to its contribution to today's tactical telephone and satellite communications, GTE Government Systems has always been an innovator. GTE Government Systems is divided into three sectors, representing ten divisions. Each division represents a major product line, or a collection of related products, and the expertise to develop these products.
The Mobile Subscriber Equipment Division (MSED) was formed in 1985 when GTE Government Systems won the largest U.S. Army contract ever awarded: development of a multi-billion dollar mobile telecommunications system. This system operates much like today's cellular telephone system, with the exception that there are no fixed antennae sites nor permanent buildings to host the cellular switching centers
Questions for Consideration
1. Are there any strategic misfits? What should management do about them, if anything?
2. Do a delta analysis where Government Systems has a prospector strategy? What are the implications for change? Should Government Systems undertake a prospector strategy?
3. Examine carefully the current formalization and the recommended formalization. Is there a difference? Explain how Government Systems evolved to its current level of formalization.
4. Examine the centralization for Government Systems.
5. Prepare a managerial plan for Government Systems.
