Creating Organizational Charts

Choose either a general family physician practice or a radiology department in a large hospital system for this assignment.

Take some time to reflect about the principles of organizational structure and the impact they have on the type of organization you chose.

Create two organizational charts: (1) a master chart for the organization (or department) overall; and (2) a supplementary chart depicting the structure and arrangement of the specific department or function. That is, take your master chart and expand upon a small portion of it to show further detail. You can create the chart using Word, Excel or Powerpoint.

Use your charts to answer the following questions. Your answers can be brief, as long as they answer the question directly. You may type your answer directly below the question.

-Is the organization more appropriately described as centralized or decentralized? Why?

What management position appears to have the broadest span of control in terms of number of direct reporting employees? Why?

Assume that dramatic losses of business activity have necessitated reorganizing. List one or two steps you would take to revise the original master chart to “flatten” the organization by at least one level in two principal chains of command.
