Previous slide was an organizational chart

Describes the arrangement of work positions within an organization (it reflect the formal or official organizational structure).

Different ways to organize.

Rondell--high tech company with rapidly changing Tech. Frank was recently hired. Predecessor lasted 10 months and one before him took to drinking. Problem in ES.

Page 7: Organizing. zWhat does it seem that managers overdelegate responsibility or pawn off their jobs to people below them. zWho do you handle complaints form

ES does pre-production lay out and design. Doc Reeves has many new ideas (over 900/year) and ES expected to modify pre-production changes quickly. Reeves underestimates time to implement.

Page 8: Organizing. zWhat does it seem that managers overdelegate responsibility or pawn off their jobs to people below them. zWho do you handle complaints form

Sales delivery dates get set further behind. Sales complains about resolving disputes between ES and production

Page 9: Organizing. zWhat does it seem that managers overdelegate responsibility or pawn off their jobs to people below them. zWho do you handle complaints form

Production complains about sloppy work in ES (Schwab). Forbus gets “a sack” for a Christmas present. Reason--costly delays that influenced customer satisfaction.

Page 10: Organizing. zWhat does it seem that managers overdelegate responsibility or pawn off their jobs to people below them. zWho do you handle complaints form

What would you do with Rondell. Are the problems Forbus or the structure? Assume you are on the management team and will make a recommendation.

As a mid to upper level managerOrganizing is what you focus. How

do you get departments to work with each other.

Rather than focusing on people in a group, you focus on the departments.

Page 17: Organizing. zWhat does it seem that managers overdelegate responsibility or pawn off their jobs to people below them. zWho do you handle complaints form

Why importantPriorities of important areas. Those that

report directly to the President are most important for strategic purposes. Not all are equally important.

Working relationships (task flow) and communications effectiveness internally.

Managing external relationships with key stakeholders (customer).

IntegrationThe level of coordination achieved

among subsystemsHuman resources and material resourcesEfficient use of materials and peopleAvoid displacement of operational plans

Functional structureGroups together people with similar

skills.Rondell--research and engineering,

production, and sales Best when few product lines and

competing demands for different products.
