The company has been running well for the past twenty years under the management of the family. A few changes have been witnessed in technology where the company has incorporated the use of robots and computer systems in the manufacturing process.

However, the employees seem to be demotivated in recent times. Some of the possible factors that might be contributing to the less motivation might be poor leadership experienced.
