He was highly impressed by the innovative and democratic approach of the system. He decided to go for Japanese System by introducing initially a few measures in the stores. Mr. Rajesh is his close rival, who feels that he has the right to be the chief of these stores, for his qualities and understanding of the departmental stores. Mr. Rajesh often puts spokes in the wheel in order to bring Mr. Amit in troubles. He has won confidence of a small section of sales representative, who at his insistence often play games to trouble Mr. Amit and malign his image or foil his plans. Mr. Amit decided to introduce a suggestion box scheme. He thought that the suggestion so received will be helpful to improvise the functioning of the department. As well as to involve the workers in decision making process. A meeting of all sales personnel and assistant managers was called on for this purpose. Mr. Rajesh along with others also attended the meeting. He listened to the idea of Mr. Amit properly and decided to foil it.
