As a vice president, he was given the responsibility of increasing the production and efficiency of workers. He observed that managers relied on their personal judgement while attending to the problems they confronted. So he recommended work study which will result it saving time, effort and increasing efficiency. He also noticed that management was not honouring their commitment. He surveyed the market too. His study of the survey showed that demand can be increased through diversification. He decided to diversify into footwear and handbags. He created divisions for garments, footwear and handbags and made the divisional managers responsible for performance.
