Using theories and concepts related to the course literature on organizational and/or national culture, develop a managerial intervention by engaging the following prompt:
The podcast outlines several managerial interventions used by Calendrea, such as increasing the transparency behind workers and doctor’s individual behaviors. Draw upon course literature to develop your own managerial intervention to change the culture at the Foggia plant. To do this, thoroughly state, explain and provide a rationale for the adoption of one intervention not mentioned in the Podcast that Calendrea could use to change the culture. In other words, come up with your own intervention to change the culture at the plant and use course literature to tell me why it’s a good intervention, or if appropriate, what challenges you anticipate might remain, despite your proposed intervention. There are several possible answers to this. This question will be evaluated by the strength of your ability to utilize course concepts and literature, the quality/feasibility/ethics of your proposed intervention, and the robustness of your rationales, given space limitations. You are being asked to do three things: State, explain and provide a rationale.
In order to answer this question, listen to the podcast, Planet Money, Episode 400, What two pasta
factories tell us about the Italian economy.

Here’s the background:
“A decade ago, the Barilla pasta factory in Foggia, Italy, had a big problem with people skipping work. The absentee rate was around 10 percent. People called in sick all the time, typically on Mondays, or on days when there was a big soccer game.
Foggia is in southern Italy. Barilla’s big factory in northern Italy had a much lower absentee rate. This is not surprising; there’s a huge economic gap between southern and northern Italy. It’s like two different countries.
Barilla execs told Nicola Calandrea, the manager of the Foggia plant, that they would close the factory unless he brought the absenteeism rate down. Calandrea decided that to save the factory, he had to change the culture. On today’s show, we visit the factory and hear how Calandrea made it work.”
