    Robin Hood needs to restructure his organization to better achieve his goals. He should conduct a SWOT analysis to understand his strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Based on the results, he should [1] merge with local barons to gain resources and allies against the Sheriff, [2] improve his group through training, transparency, and evaluations, and [3] develop new strategies like using spies at the prince's court. Robin Hood also needs to change his organizational structure by appointing supervisors over smaller camps and functions like recruiting, food, and defense to better manage and decentralize his large group.

    Robin Hood proposes promoting more lieutenants to oversee groups and forming smaller camps. He also plans to restructure departments and implement better information flow.

    Robin Hood Case Study

    What Should Robin Hood Do?

    There are several issues Robin Hood needs to consider. First, Robin Hood needs to make sure
    his own personal grievances against the Sheriff do not cloud his vision and what is in the best
    interest of his Merrymen as a group. Second, take a broad look at the overall organizational
    structure by conducting SWOT analysis. A SWOT analysis will help determine some
    strategic alternatives and how the group can attempt to fulfill its mission and achieve its
    goals.

    Robin Hood can use the SWOT analysis to identify where he is strong and vulnerable, where
    he should defend and attack by scanning both internal and external environment. So, the
    SWAT analysis process will start instantly to find out some of the reality of the Barons even
    though the time is limited by sending his spies so that he can have a controlled position in
    later after that Robin Hood should accept the offer to merge with the Barons to fight the
    Sheriff and secure King Richard's release.

    New strategies Robin Hood needs to develop from SWAT analysis outcome in relation to
    Primary goal i.e. Releasing King Richard are:
    Improve his groups quality by means of:
    1) Find a new way to get food ( it can get help after merged with the baron up to a certain
    extend till they make his better position of their own ).
    2) Starting prevailing transparency in order to make sure that fairness will exist in his group.
    3) Taking care of the quality of his group member through evaluation.
    4) Implementing basic training project for members.

    He should try to get people from prince’s court. Acting as a spy and thus letting him know of
    any new strategy prince is formulating against him. Robin Hood should not recruit new men
    in his group and should rather diversify. He should provide his men with funds and support to
    become merchants and trader. The group thus formed should be supported and hence they can
    use their power to threat other merchants as well as the prince.
    Robin Hood needs to develop a new organization structure resulting to lead for discipline and
    knowing and trusting those in the group. The most appropriate change in structure would
    possibly be promoting more lieutenants in order to watch over the men better and keep the
    men clear of their strategy. Maybe the group could form smaller camps that are part of the
    whole for organizational.

    ROBINHOOD’S ORGANISATION STRUCTURE

    CURRENT ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

    Currently Robin Hood’s organisation is much unorganised. He is assisted by three people for
    the functions and is certainly under employed. It is very evident that managing such a huge
    organisation is getting difficult for him and there may be certain functions that are rejected
    due to less supervisors and managers. There is not much of interaction between the various
    departments. Robin Hood needs to change the organisational structure. He should change it to
    the below mentioned structure and delegate responsibility in order to manage the bigger
    group that he now commands. This will result in decentralisation of the control to some
    extent however, not to the fullest level but to certain extent.

    NEW ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

    1. In order to meet the decreasing level of discipline and vigilance Robin hood needs to put
    the recruitment process in order. A better way to do this is by recruiting supervisors and
    laying down HR policies for recruitment. For example they could limit the age, family
    background. By doing this he shall only get workers who are focussed and share the similar
    goal.
    2. Appoint a few food shelters and medical supervisors under his human resource manager.
    Food and shelter supervisors will concentrate on sole responsibilities. The main role of food
    supervisors will be constantly look for newer and cheaper sources of food.
    3. Device a spy/Vigilance division under the operation manager to built a fleet of spies and
    deploy them around the sheriff’s office. The job should encompass the cross verification of
    the details of new recruits.
    4) And lastly all the departments should have vertical information flow as horizontal (top to
    bottom and vice versa).
