Dolby reviews

There is a real organizational problem here. The overall Corporate Values and Organizational Management schema are not aligned with the technological innovation of this corporation. It has not evolved to its potential. As technology leaders, it would be in the best interest of Dolby to maintain integrity and align their corporate values to be those of internal Leaders also, empowering their employees; however, according to Likert-Emberling Leadership Organizational Development Model, they fall short of that and are still running the organization from the "Rules and Roles" level of management. This is not beneficial to its employees nor is it to the overall environment as it inhibits the evolution of the system. Hopefully, this is a transitory state and Dolby will breakthrough and emerge the leader it has the potential it can be, but at this time, it appears to be in a devolved state of "Old School" management that needs an overhaul or it will lose the lifeblood. A corporation can not rely on product alone - sustainability is the key and Dolby just hasn't figured this out yet. Hopefully they will soon.

Negative culture - people try to find blame Poor cooperatoin - worried about C.Y.A. Inconsistent bonus and raises Rare promotions (seem to hire outside the company) After working hard for almost 2 years on a painful ERP system, management rewarded the employees with a weak bonus.
