Description
The structural frame underscores the necessity of knowing the goals, tasks, technology, and environment in order to determine how best to break down and coordinate work. The objective of this assignment is to explain why a particular configuration matters in terms of organizational effectiveness. Using the assigned readings from the last three weeks, develop a 500-750-word paper that addresses the following questions. Base it on an organization where you work or have worked.
1. Explain what structural configuration best describes your organization?
2. Explain what structural configuration best describes the unit where you work?
3. What challenges do you experience based on the ways in which the organization or the unit has differentiated work?
