    Case Scenario:

    A family owned pharmaceutical company, Universal Drugs, was looking to change to a more team-work
    oriented management environment by promoting one of two internal employees. The newly created position gave the
    new manager freedom to conduct performance reviews and report directly to the owners.

    The owners can use the contingency theory to define the new role to qualify one of the applicants more than
    the other. They would define the task structure aspects of the job; completing performance reviews. The importance of
    relationship building through training and coaching of the employees and the ability to diffuse difficult situations is
    important.

    Universal Drugs can benefit from the contingency theory in the decision making by understanding that the
    theory does have flaws. Those who employ this theory do not learn to change their approach to match the situation;
    they change the situation to match their leadership style.
