The new Executive VP will have a lot of responsibility in managing and leading the new division.You will evaluate each of the three candidates considering each candidate's experience and answer the questions Tasty Products' leadership has requested to select the best candidate to lead the new division ?

( I will attached you the project's case scenario and three candidates which are T.J. Max, L.L. Bean , and J.C. Penney profiles below )

Scenario

Tasty Products, a billion-dollar multinational company, has for more than 25 years has developed, produced, and distributed organic food products to major retailers (e.g., Whole Foods; Costco, Safeway) throughout the United States. These products are noted for their salutary effects, including stable blood glucose levels. Tasty Products has recently decided to launch a new line of products.

It will develop, produce, and distribute all-naturally flavored protein bars to its new and existing clients. This new line of all-naturally flavored protein bars will necessitate establishing a new division to develop, produce, market, and distribute the product.

A new Executive Vice President will need to be selected to establish and lead the new division.

Your company, Wiz Consultants, has been retained to help Tasty Products' Human Resources Director make the final selection from the candidates she has previously interviewed and narrowed to three (3) possibilities. She has prepared a detailed written profile for each candidate.

Tasty Products' Human Resources Director has explained to you that she has been directed to find the best person to establish and run the new division. The Human Resources Director further explained that the protein bar industry consists of many well-established companies. Accordingly, the ideal candidate will need to learn quickly and handle many complex leadership and management tasks.

These complex management and leadership tasks include the following: developing innovative strategy, creating well-made products, effective product marketing, developing and managing the processes and procedures for employees to follow, and creating and articulating a clear vision for the new division.

Strong leadership will be the key to the all-naturally flavored energy bar's success.

The Executive VP will be the face of Tasty Products' new brand to existing and prospective clients (e.g., Whole Foods, Safeway, Costco, and the like). The key to success with existing clients and prospective clients will be the ability to communicate to them,

"What makes Tasty Products naturally flavored protein bars special." The new Executive VP must be viewed as a person of integrity and an innovative problem solver.

The Executive VP must be seen by current employees and newly hired employees and their managers, who will all work in the new division, as a leader who understands and supports the culture, values, and traditions of Tasty Products. In a short period of time, Tasty Products' leadership expects the new Executive VP to have met the leadership and management expectations discussed above and have the new division running efficiently and productively.

In summary, Tasty Products desires that the new Executive VP for the Energy Bars Division have the array of excellent management and leadership skills necessary to lead the new division.

Your specific role is to analyze the candidate profiles that follow and answer the specific questions (as identified below the last candidate profiles) the company's management has asked you.

LL. Bean L.L. started Bean's Frozen Heath 15 years ago. L.L. started Bean's Frozen Heath in his basement. The company distributes its products throughout the United States and Canada. Sales are currently $360 million annually. Tasty Products agreed to purchase Bean's Frozen Heath. L.L.'s innovation in moving his standard selling of freshly produced vegetarian products to local supermarkets and specialty food stores, to frozen and pre- packaged goods where he could market and sell throughout the US and Canada led to rapid growth -- both in terms of sales and employees, which currently exceed 250. He was known for his charismatic leadership style and hands-on management. Although popular with employees and managers, he was known to be focused and driven. His primary areas of focus were strategic planning, marketing, and product development. Employees characterized L.L.'s company as a pleasant place to work and one where they were treated fairly. L.L. agreed to stay in a leadership capacity with Tasty Products for 3 years, but his exact role has yet to be determined. He thinks leading this new division would be a good fit. L.L.'s agreement makes accommodations for several key managers and key employees (sales, and marketing) to work for Tasty Products. Their roles have yet to be decided, but L.L. would have a say in that. The relationship among these key employees is informal; everyone calls each other by their first names, and they like to talk about business and work well together. L.L. indicated that he expects everyone to jump in when a task needs to be done. L.L. often says, "There are thinkers, and there are doers. Doers get the job done. If we make mistakes, we'll fix them. Perfection is the enemy of the good. And, in business, to stay ahead of the competition, taking risks is necessary." He sees himself as a deer and driver of others. L.L. frequently held town hall meetings to rally the troops and communicate a vision. He is forthright and blunt in his one on one. Often there seems to be little reflection before he speaks. L.L. admitted that while he depends on the people that comprise Bean's Frozen Health, he likes to be immersed in the business and always wants to stay informed as to what is happening within every department. He likes to walk around and chat with people. although he does not like to waste his time or the time of others. He also shared that he has limited formal educational experience with marketing since as the company grew, he used in-house personnel and top~of~theline marketing firms. Still, since he has been leading Beans' Frozen Health through its growth stages, he could easily manage Tasty Products' new venture. He boasts that he is a proven innovator and entrepreneur. As a proven innovator and entrepreneur having started and built a large company, L.L. feels confident he is the best candidate. L.L. dropped out of college in his senior year to pursue his business
