Egan and Doyle Publishing

Is a successful publisher and distributor of a wide range of college and university textbooks, journal and periodicals.

Brian Gray is the CEO.

Directors were allowed a degree of responsible autonomy and developed own ways of running things.

Strategic Management Meetings (SMT) were held regularly.

In view of development of IT and to keep advantage E&D employed IT Director (Jane Morgan) to run IT division.

IT division became extremely successful and boosted the business.

Gray was happy about the new Information System.

This created considerable unease among subordinates.
