Interclean

In today’s constantly evolving business environment, companies must develop a specific competitive advantage that allows them to maintain a strategic advantage over their competitors. In order to accomplish this, many companies have reinvented themselves, and in the process, discovered unique procedures that, once refined, have become their operational benchmark. This paper will discuss the situation InterClean, Inc. has encountered, and the actions the company’s senior leadership has decided to embark upon in order to gain what it believes will be a competitive advantage over its competitors in the highly competitive industrial cleaning and sanitation industry.
After a brief analysis on InterClean’s current status, a discussion of some of the ethical dilemmas resulting from these decisions follows; focusing on the potential impacts these changes will have on the company’s primary stakeholders. Following that, we will develop an overall problem statement for the InterClean, Inc. scenario, concentrating on the opportunities the organization faces as a result of their current situation. Once the problem has been accurately identified, the paper will proceed on to discussion of some of the potential remedies senior leadership might employ to achieve its newly defined goals, exploring various alternatives with the intent to determine which alternatives will most effectively result in meeting InterClean’s objectives. Finally, we will summarize how InterClean intends to implement these proposed course(s) of action, while also providing some criterion for determining whether our plan was successful in achieving its intended purpose, that being to elevate InterClean to the pinnacle of the industrial cleaning and sanitation industry.
