The structure of an organization determines how job tasks and the reporting system are organized. Clearly, changes to an organization's structure can significantly influence its operations.
What may be less apparent is the impact change can have on the organization's culture.
In this week's Discussion, you will analyze the structure of an organization, as well as any trends it may be experiencing and the external pressures it faces.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Learning Resources this week.
Consider the organization you currently work for or an organization where you previously worked.
Post a comprehensive response to the following:
Name the organization you chose and describe what it does.
How is the organization structured (i.e., centralized versus decentralized)?
How well do you think the organizational structure works? Please explain. Should the structure be changed? Please explain how and why.
What are trends in the organization? In other words, how might the organization change in the future?
What are the external pressures on the organization (i.e., health reform, economic pressures)?
If possible, include an organizational chart of the organization with your Discussion post.
