Analyze organizational structure and culture in an organization.

Read the scenario and address the checklist items.

Scenario:

ROBoInc. is a robotics software company with 100 employees located in Bismarck, North Dakota in the United States. Up until now, the culture is fairly strongly established as a hard working culture that operates as departmental “families”. The company has had an informal code of ethics that is not uniform since every department has handled ethical conduct issues in its own manner. As a result, there have been increasing incidents of personnel doing consulting work for other companies outside of work hours. The CEO is concerned as their robotics software could be compromised.

Lately, as the company’s software is increasingly sought by robot producing companies around the globe, the CEO realizes it is time to reimagine a more formalized, diverse, and global type company, while adhering to an ethical code of conduct with uniform responses to infringement.

The CEO knows they will need to hire at least another 20 salespersons and additional software developers soon to address this increasing global demand. The CEO wants to restructure the company while keeping company costs down as much as possible.

Disclaimer: The organization and characters depicted in this exercise are fictional. Any resemblance to real organizations or individuals is purely coincidental.

Help ROBoInc. address the problems by completing the checklist items based on the company’s current organizational structure provided below the checklist.
