| dc.description.abstract | António Câmara spent that morning sitting in his chair, near his office window. While watching the rain, the CEO of YDreams was thinking about the last two years of the company and how fast it had grown. Unfortunately, less than he was expecting (Exhibit1). YDreams was a seven-year-old company in the high technological solutions market. The company, through the leadership of Câmara, was having a high projection in the media. He remember ed the several interviews he gave, stating that YDreams wasgoing to be listed in the stock market this year or the next. Deep inside, he knew that was difficult to happen. It is January 2007 and a year has passed since YDreams had received the venture capital funding from ES Tech Ventures and Herrick Partners. While watching the rain falling outside, Câmara realised how essential was the change the organisational structure. YDreams, once a laboratory, was now a candidate to NASDAQ and he was conscientious that his future as CEO was at risk. The company had to accomplish the objectives defined in the business plan. Câmara was anxious to know what changes the investors were going to demand. Will they change the culture? How they will change the management? Will YDreams be successful? | eng |
