You have just been called in to help managers at Achieva, a fast-growing Internet software company that specializes in business-to-business (B2B) network software. Your job is to help Achieva solve some management problems that have arisen because of its rapid growth. Customer demand to license Achieva's software has boomed so much in just two years that more than 50 new employees have been added to help develop a new range of software products and to improve customer service. Achieva's growth has been so swift that the company still operates informally, its organizational structure is loose and flexible, and employees are encouraged to find solutions to problems as they go along. Although this structure worked well in the past, you have been told that problems are arising. There have been increasing complaints from employees that good performance is not being recognized in the organization and that they do not feel equitably treated. Moreover, there have been complaints about getting managers to listen to their new ideas and to act on them.

Your job is to help Achieva's managers solve these problems quickly and keep the company on the fast track.
