Summarize the key issues faced by Kimbel's Department Store and how it impacted employee specialization and knowledge. Answer according to: Through placing stress of making sales above everything else, employees began taking on the full store to meet their sales requirements rather than working solely within their departments. Specialization in individual departments was lost, because those that worked in the more specialized areas with fewer sales would wander into other departments to boost their own numbers. This led to less knowledgeable employees, a more disorganized structure within the organization, and probably led to conflict when an employee from another department would take a sale from an employee working in his assigned area.
