NewTel is a telephone company with a policy of filling positions internally through promotions, rather than hiring from outside. Until recently, the company had a strong engineering focus and tended to prombte people to senior executive positions from the engineering areas. Consequently, almost all of the company’s 14 senior executives joined the company over 20 years ago as junior engineers. There is increasing pressure on NewTelto become more market and service oriented. As a result, four people were hired last year from firms to fill new serior executive positions in marketing and service departments. The extemal hires were necessary because current employees were not sufficiently qualified. Now, there are signs of tension among senior executives, particularly during budget deliberations where there is limited discretionary spending on new corporat activities. The four new hires have been thwarted in their attempts to have the company imvest more in marketing and customer services instead of investing in technological research, and they blame the senior executives for being hard-headed. The confict episodes are being viewed by both sides as personal attacks rather than attempts to resolve the problem. The senior executives push back by insisting that cutting-edge technology speaks for itself, and nothing else matters.
