Abstract


This case study explores the strategic and operational practices of Marugame Udon and IPMI Institute. By analyzing both organizations through the lenses of interaction management, problem-solving, decision-making, team development, and coaching performance, the study uncovers practical insights into effective organizational behavior across different industries. At Marugame, the emphasis on lean operations and team coordination plays a critical role in ensuring customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Through real-time interaction management and standardized communication protocols, Marugame fosters a service-oriented culture where frontline staff are empowered to solve problems and make quick decisions. Leadership coaching is implemented at the store level to improve service performance and employee retention. In contrast, IPMI Institute emphasizes strategic decision-making and collaborative learning in academic and administrative settings. The coaching culture at IPMI Institute fosters professional growth, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence among both staff and students. The findings highlight that both organizations, while operating in different sectors, leverage similar core principles of organizational development. Interaction management and coaching serve as the backbone for efficient teamwork and agile decision-making. This comparative case analysis underscores the value of context-specific adaptations of these practices, reinforcing the need for tailored leadership approaches in hospitality and education sectors.
