Write an essay of 150 words answering the following questions
Questions:
1. Universities are typically organized by departments or colleges such as business,
biology, engineering, political science, and so on. Is this an appropriate
structure? What aspects of the environment support this structure? Are there
any aspects of the internal or external environment that currently or in the near
future push for changes in university structures?
2. Organizational design skills are critical to career success, but total organizational
design or redesign typically is not put in the hands of newly hired managers. Why
then is it important for you early in your career to understand the structure and
the specific differentiation and integration mechanisms of the organization you
work in?
3. What would be the likely influence of a collectivist culture (refer back to Chapter
4) on the formal or informal aspects of an organization’s structure? What would
you expect the influence of a strong hierarchical cultural value to be on the line of
authority or chain of command in a company’s structure?
