Then conduct your analysis by addressing the topics below. Do not line up the questions and address them one at a time as in a short-answer test, but rather integrate them into a single coherent commentary and analysis of the organization. A critical part of successful completion of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your ability to employ the concepts introduced in the background material in describing and evaluating the effectiveness of the organizational design. To do this, you will need to draw on the concepts from at least three readings/videos. This paper should be 4-6 pages long.
Answer preview
The organizational design influences the nature of business members’ interaction within its operations, either with other internal stakeholders or external business partners. An organization design describes how a company’s tasks are divided, grouped, and coordinated (Robbins, Judge, & Millett, 2015). Division of work involves work specialization, and coordination involves departmentalization and creating a chain of command. The latter also involves defining the span of control, formalization, and scope of decision making authority (centralization or decentralization).(1616words)
