Instructions
To complete this discussion, first find an organizational chart from an organization you are familiar with (e.g., police service, school, private business). Save the organizational chart (e.g., image file, PDF, link to website). Categorize the organizational chart based on the six elements discussed in your textbook reading (Ch. 11 pp. 286-294). Be sure to share the organizational chart when you draft your response to the following questions:
Summarize each element as it relates to your organization. For example, is it centralized, what is the span of control, and so on.
What is one benefit of the organization's structure as shown in its organizational chart?
What is one challenge of the organization's structure as shown in its organizational chart?
Write at least a one paragraph response. Share your response with your classmates and provide meaningful comments that demonstrate comprehension and analysis to at least three of your peers' posts. You may consider answering questions such as
Where do you see similarities/differences in organizational structures?
How do you agree/disagree?
