Abstract
There are varied ranges of issues which have been emerging at Levis ranging from structural
to behavioural problems. As can be seen in Levis the leadership behaviour is incapable of
creating a bright future for the company through a varied pursuit of opportunities made
available in the merging environment for the company (McElhany, 2009).
The corporate structure of the company is such that Robert Haas the CEO of the company is
being held accountable to no one, except for his uncle, and his cousins (2). There is no board
of directors to whom they can report or verify the results which are being published. Another
issue is that of highly narrowed down product line due to which the company has started
losing market share as they are not launching new products as per the external environment’s
demands. Due to lack of effective marketing and promotional planning and processes its
advertising campaigns have proven to be failure and the in-store presentations have turned
out to be embarrassing (Business Success Review (BSR), 2012). The manufacturing costs
have increased so much that even a budget of $850 million proves insufficient and such huge
amount had to be budgeted for bringing change in manufacturing cycle which is already
turned redundant. Thus Levis has totally failed in consistently re-engineering itself to be
lucrative in the current markets.
