For this assignment, continue to write about the same organization that you wrote about for your Module 1 SLP. Carefully review the background materials and make sure you understand the concepts of centralization versus decentralization, geographic versus functional divisions, span of control, and other key concepts covered in the Pearson tutorials and required textbook reading. Then carefully think about how these concepts apply to your chosen organization.
Once you have finished reviewing the background materials and have carefully thought about how they apply to your organization, write a 2- to 3-page paper answering the following questions:
1. How would you characterize the design of your organization? Is it flat, or does it have many layers? Is it a rigid hierarchy, or does it use alternative structures like team-based or matrix?
2. Is decision making mostly centralized at the top, or is there room for decentralized decision making at lower levels?
3. What kind of departmentalization does your organization use? Is it divided into functional divisions, geographical divisions, or other divisions?
4. What is the typical span of control for managers in your organization? Is it broad or narrow?
5. Are employees highly specialized, or do employees have a wide range of tasks and responsibilities?
