OVERVIEW:
In 2001, Troy Stubblefield, the owner of Shreveport Air Tools, a company that sold equipment
for the petroleum, automotive, and construction industries, was prompted to create an online
business when he lost one of his major customers to an early online retailer. Online retailing was
a new and risky prospect at the time, but Troy was an early adopter of the business model.
Lacking the necessary technical skills to create an e-commerce website, he turned to his son
Ryan, who set up the first ToolTopia.com site. Relatively soon afterward, they realized their best
option was to function as an affiliate, which meant they processed orders and asked their
suppliers to actually fill the orders. The Stubblefields needed people with technology and sales
skills to grow ToolTopia.com, and eventually they replaced their part-time help with a
combination of full-time and part-time employees. As the company grew, it also became a virtual
workplace, with employees working from various locations and communicating electronically.
Some of the early employees did not fare well in this telecommuting work environment, but
eventually ToolTopia found the right mix of employees. Six years into the operation of the
business, having built up a strong customer base through effective online marketing, Troy and
Ryan received an offer to sell the business to a supplier.
QUESTIONS:
5. How, according to Troy, was managing millennial generation workers different from
managing his traditional workforce?
6. What symptoms of structural deficiency existed (integrate concept from page 132)? If no
structural deficiency symptoms existed, discuss why not for each symptom.
