1. Megatrend of the organisation and its impact
| Megatrend | Issues affecting the organisation | Impact of the issues |
| Sustainability | People are more into having innovative products to have better experiences and companies have to build those kinds of products (Kilburn et al. 2018). | The organisation has to build an innovative product for their customer that can be an issue.
It is generally cost-oriented that the organisation should have proper money back rather than this; they cannot mitigate the impact of that issue. |
| Transparency | Based on transparency consumers competitors can know the strategies of the organisation (Wan et al. 2017). | The competitors can improve their strategy to pass over other competitors and the organisation can face loss in their market.
Other than this, organisations have to change their strategies to cope up with the situation. Organisations can face issues in maintaining customer trust. |
| Functional ingredients | The business of the company is entirely dependent upon processed food for example noodle, flour and rice. Therefore, food safety has become an important consideration for the company to address customer needs. The issues of health and food safety can negatively affect the overall business development process. The manager of the company must consider safety and check-up for the food processes activities (Kalaitzi et al. 2021). | There are both legal and social consequences on a company. According to Food Safety Basic Law, a company needs to ensure the quality and safety of the product they are offering. Any kind of negative consequences of food-related safety may lead to legal consequences. Along with this, the social image of the company may also be affected by these issues. The reliability and reputation of the brand may be hammered, and people may stop using the products of the company. |
| Plant-based products | People are more into having plant-based floods for their nutrition and the organization has to develop such kinds of food to maintain the quality and customer demand. Organisations have to change their terms and policies and implement new strategies that can create on recreating the strategies and understanding it by the employees.
|
As an impact organisation can have financial risk factors and have to develop new ideas that can be time-consuming.
The employees find it difficult to understand the strategies and their functions. Organisations try to develop products that can attract customers. Organisations have to research several data and information for it. |
2. Recommendations
| Megatrends | Recommendation, justification and its potential implication |
| Recommendations | In order to improve the performance of operation management, Nippn is needed to make changes in the company wide communication process. Communication is considered as the essential element of the operation management process, which allows managers to convey the organizational objectives with employees, and align their motivation to company goals. It is recommended that the company needs to adopt a company-wide communication streamlining process for improving the communication between hierarchy and employees. |
| Justification | The communication process of Nippn has been highly disrupted due to the emergence of COVID19. Consideration of remote working has further affected the communication process in the operation management of the company. Company Wide communication has become an essential trend in the present business world, which is playing a path breaking role in driving employee engagement. Most employees do not feel motivated to perform their task due to communication barriers. The needs and issues of employees are also not addressed, which creates extreme chaos in the operation management process. In this context, mobile communication tools such as smart phones, PDA (personal digital assistant), messengers and pagers have the potential to reduce the gap between operation managers and the employees. |
| Potential Implications | An organisation has too many needs to modify their communication structure to improve the performance of communication of the organisation. Nippn is an automobile industry that deals in manufacturing and developing new features for vehicles so it is important for companies that implement digital modes of communication to improve the performance of organisations and develop new features for vehicles. In This context latest technology such as smart phones and digital gadgets can use organization to make communication structure more effective and operational. Organisation needs to implement this communicational structure in order to increase employee’s job satisfaction and efficiency of workers. The employee of the organisation continually fails to cooperate well with other employees and their upper level management. That is too much necessary for better performed of organisation. |
