1. Case Study. 14
Sunshine Pharma Limited was established in 1985 and started experiencing
abnormal increase in human resource cost by 2004, consequent upon its revised
retention policy. The revised retention policy aimed at increase in the salaries of
Pharmacists and top level managers more than those of market leaders.
Mr. David, has taken over the charge as new CEO in 2005. Upon his takeover,
he began to look for ways to make the organisation more profitable. Throughout
his investigation, he found that the company's human resource cost was too high
and is a major cause for dwindling financial position of the company.
Mr. David instructed the HR Manager of the company to downsize the number of
employees by 30 per cent creating a saving of Rs. 3 billion. The HR Manager
offered a counter proposal that it would be wise to expand the production and
marketing operations of the company by revising the corporate strategy as the
market is providing opportunities for Pharmaceutical industry. The CEO just paid
a deaf ear to the counter proposal of the HR Manager and consequently the
HR Manager initiated the downsizing process. The HR Manager officially informed
the employees the details of the downsizing programme.

The booming pharmaceutical industry enabled the employees of Sunshine Pharma
to find jobs in other companies without much difficulty. However, most of the
displaced employees were upset about being terminated and complained as the
new positions were lower than their current ones. However, most were
successfully out placed by June 2006.
The Company's financial position improved slightly in 2007 and the CEO told the
HR Manager that we achieved the goal. But the HR Manager replied, "We achieved
the goal but we lost an appropriate strategy and our competitors gained a lot by
employing our trained and expert staff".
