PICK AN ORGANIZATION YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AND/OR WANT TO WORK FOR AND WRITE A 2 PAGE MEMO ANSWERING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
What is the organization’s name, mission, vision, and your best guess for what its business-level strategy is (e.g. cost leadership, differentiation, niche)?
What kind of organizational structure does the organization have?
Describe it using the four building blocks of structure (all four!)
Provide some proof (org. charts are one good example)
Knowing what you now know about the pros/cons of the various structural dimensions – is there a fit between the organization’s mission/vision/strategy and the structure of the organization? Why or why not?
Are you still interested in/would you want to work for this organization? Why or why not?
