Case Study Analysis

Problem Definition

The Monitor Company has two options to weigh and find the best. The first option is outsourcing

selected work to a single among the existing firms in India. The other option is to come up with a

unit of business, capable of conducting business research specifically in India.

Executive Summary

Weighing the two approaches, it should adopt the second approach of setting up units of business

in India for research purposes as recommended by this article. The choice will enable the

company to effectively manage its operations across the world and identifying all the factors

both positive and negative which can affect the business. The research done in India is more

effective and realistic as India has the most brilliant people across the world.

Background

Mark Fuller is the chairman and a co-founder of the monitor group, a company which started as a

boutique strategy firm for consultation purpose. The company later developed into a big

company offering various professional services. Fuller together with some senior colleagues of

the company left Cambridge to India to debate on the company’s future. At India, they generated

several options and scrutinized a few options for future consideration.

The company started with strategy consulting but have grown as a family of many firms of

professional services connected by personal relationships, ownership, personnel, and intellectual

property. The monitor group comprises of several business units specializing in different areas,

with distinct missions and management teams. There are some units like the Monitor Institutes

serving the purpose of advising non-profits, emerging from organic growth. Others like MGBN

focus on scenario planning, hence, outcomes of acquisitions.

CASE STUDY ANALYSIS 3

By the year 2014, Monitor Group had employed eight hundred and fifty consultants in twenty-

nine offices across the world. The Monitor company emerged the fifth best consultation firm in

the US and the 8

most comfortable in Europe from a survey done by Vault who is a publisher

on career matters. The distinguishing of Monitor to its rivals is its group structure which is

unusual, fostering entrepreneurship within the firm. Monitor Company is proud of its

meritocracy as it links with business academia established by the founding association. The

company compensated its employees based on the amount of client value rather than the level of

education. Even though Monitor served many clients, it had a strong portfolio in the life

sciences, customer goods, besides other fields of health care. The firm focused on brain projects

rather than procedure projects.

Recommendations and Conclusions

There are several recommendations made from the study based on the information provided in

the background, the SWOT analysis, and the fact on the current office of Monitor located in

Mumbai. The article recommends the second option as the most appropriate solution the

company can choose to achieve its future goals or aims.

The second option provides the company with the idea of introducing a unit of business for

steering business research as the main purpose. Since the company had an ambition from

obtaining the market for its services across the world, setting up a research center would help

greatly. India is a country specializing in academic and research stuff, hence the best place for

steering business research. India becomes one of the best countries since all resources required

for research, e.g., books and research personnel during the study. Almost all employees of

Monitor company were for the second option of setting up business units in India for the

business research purpose. Since most employees support the opportunity, then it's evident that

the option is the best.

Moving the information design to India provides various importance to India as a Country. It

will lead to the creation of job opportunities as the company will need experts in IT and other

fields to assist in both research and business activities. The cost of wage in India is a bit lower

compared to the cost in other countries like the US and Europe. Setting up the business unit in

India will help the company to cut reduce cost in the wage or the money used to pay salaries to

the employees or other workers.

There exist people with various talents and specialization in different fields in India. Those

specializing in different fields are also capable of speaking in English, a language which most

people understand across the world. The employees specialized in information technology. The

employees maintain the IT infrastructure for the company, developing customized software

application like the system of the financial report.
