Many recent cases draw attention to this topic, but one in particular, the case of corruption of the company Siemens AG, that resulted in the payment of the largest fines in the history on your model, based on the terms of the FCPA since it became law in 1977. This event caters specifically to the objective of this work which is to make an analysis based on agency theory and the codes of good practices of corporate governance on how large companies revising their corporate management systems and practices aiming at the recovery of its institutional image after significant impact on the company, such as the corruption scandal in which Siemens was involved. For this study, we opted for qualitative research as a methodological path contemplating the single case study. In the process of data collection were used data obtained through documentary research about the corruption scandal on public collection available in the internet. Open conversations were made with 3 compliance Department officials of Siemens for the purposes of understanding the case with. At the end of this work, it was observed in the Siemens turnaround process a correlation between what was proposed by the Agency Theory about internal control Systems based on what was accomplished by the company when promoted an extensive restructuring of the Department of compliance and corporate governance system, the improvement of internal controls, as well as the creation of detection tools , control, analysis and prevention of fraud, which were used to minimize the effects generated by the conflict of interest covered by the theory of Agency. KEY WORDS: Corporate Governance; Compliance; Corruption; Turnaround, Agency Theory / É de grande relevância, tanto no meio acadêmico como para a sociedade como um todo o assunto 'corrupção', um problema recorrente que assola empresas e governos em várias partes do mundo. Muitos casos recentes chamam a atenção para este tema, mas um em especial, o caso de corrupção da Empresa Siemens AG, que resultou no pagamento das maiores multas da história na sua modalidade, baseada nos termos de conduta do FCPA desde que este se tornou lei em 1977. Este caso atende especificamente ao objetivo deste trabalho que é o de fazer uma análise baseada na Teoria da agência e nos códigos de boas práticas de governança corporativa sobre 'como' as grandes empresas reformulam seus sistemas e práticas de gestão corporativa visando à recuperação de sua imagem institucional após significativo impacto sobre a empresa, como no caso o escândalo de corrupção em que a Siemens esteve envolvida. Para a realização deste estudo, optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa como percurso metodológico contemplando a modalidade estudo de caso único. No processo de coleta de dados, foram usados dados obtidos através de pesquisa documental de acervo público disponível na internet sobre o escândalo de corrupção. Foram feitas ainda conversas abertas para fins de entendimento sobre o caso com 3 funcionários do departamento de compliance da Siemens. Ao final do trabalho, observou-se no processo de turnaround uma correlação entre o que foi proposto pela Teoria da Agencia no âmbito dos Sistemas de Controles internos com o que foi realizado pela empresa que promoveu uma ampla reestruturação do departamento de compliance e do sistema de Governança Corporativa, o aprimoramento dos controles internos, bem como a criação de ferramentas de detecção, controle, análise e prevenção de fraudes, que foram usados com o objetivo de minimizar os efeitos gerados pelo conflitos de interesse abordados pela Teoria da Agência.

The case is set in the Fall of October 2005. Budget season is underway and the management team of Puma Prague, led by Piotr Cichecki as general manager, is finalizing its numbers before sending it off to Puma Austria. In general, RHQ in Austria has always supported Puma Prague. Recently, incidents have happened which were confusing and unclear. Erwin Kaiser, RHQ head in Puma Austria, was the point man for many years. Now times are changing. Puma Prague has a well established business. It sometimes took too much management time to "go through" RHQ. Rumour has it that there would be changes within the company in the next year. Piotr has been invited to a late Fall November meeting for general managers. What is to be discussed is uncertain at this point. / Series: WU Case Series

The evaluation report section describes the evaluation of the implementation of Mercedes Benz Production System (MPS) at Mercedes Benz Commercial Vehicles, which is a division of Mercedes Benz South Africa’s manufacturing plant situated in East London. The section evaluates the changes the implementation of MPS brought to the Key Performance Indicators (KPI’S) of the division and evaluates the change readiness of the employees in the division prior to the change. The change implementation was initiated by the management of MBCV as a strategic organisational change to bring about continuous improvement to the KPI’s of the organisation. These KPI’s are Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and Morale (SQDCM). The reason behind the change at the time was deemed critical to MBCV in order to meet the annual KPI targets and remain cost competitive and sustainable. The evaluation report further describes the results of the change with regards to the organisational KPI’s and the level of employee change readiness which was conducted through a questionnaire survey. A brief literature review is included in the Evaluation Report under section one describing key concepts about Production Systems, Lean Manufacturing and Change Management. The evaluation section includes recommendations based on the results of the research findings and ends with a conclusion. The literature review section explores the literature that supports production systems, lean manufacturing and change management concepts, its definitions, importance and benefits. The literature review describes and critiques key concepts of the research such as productions systems, MPS in particular, lean manufacturing concepts and related change management topics relevant to the research. The literature review defines production systems and the concepts of lean manufacturing, highlighting the benefits of the concepts to enhance organisations’ manufacturing capabilities. An integrated part of lean manufacturing is people and the implementation of lean manufacturing into an organisation requires change management theories therefore key understanding in this particular research was to discuss change management concepts, in particular, employee change readiness. The literature will discuss different tools to assess employee change readiness and from this develop an employee change readiness tool. The change management concepts evaluated change readiness and the consequences if organisations are not ready for change. The research methodology section describes how that the research was conducted in two phases, one to evaluate the implementation of MPS with regards to the organisational KPI’s (SQDCM). This was assessed through reports from projects and presentations made by the project teams on improvements of the organisational KPI’s. The second phase evaluated the change readiness of the employees prior to the implementation of MPS. This phase of the research was intended to retrieve quantitative data with an adapted questionnaire which was distributed to employees. To evaluate the change readiness, a change model known as ADKAR was used as an evaluation instrument. The modified ADKAR questionnaire was distributed to employees in hard copies and completed during a weekly team meeting. The results were summarised and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the final results. Microsoft Excel (2010 version) was used to illustrate and display the graphs. Section three discussed the research methodology in more detail. The study shows that although there were some positive changes that came from the implementation of MPS in MBCV, especially to the following KPI’s (Safety, Quality, Delivery and Cost), real consideration should be given to employee morale and the level of change readiness of MBCV employees.
