Mechanistic vs. organic organizations and musical metaphors:
"I believe I'll dust my broom."
One of the 'classical' ways to classify organizations is to define them as either primarily mechanistic or organic. While all organizations contain elements of both systems, most tend to fall into one of these two 'camps' to a greater degree. Mechanistic organizations are hierarchical, with clearly defined authority roles, and clearly defined functions for each position (Ross 2011). There is less of a focus on abstract vision and mission statements, and more of a focus on individual tasks, which are undertaken on a case-by-case basis, with little sense of how the task fulfills...
Most organizations (particularly well-established businesses) tend to be structured in a very mechanistic way.
In contrast, organic structures rely upon the contribution of all individuals in the organization, regardless of their place in the hierarchy. There is a disdain for hierarchy in general and a focus upon accomplishing the overall mission of the organization rather than upon technical specifics. Everyone makes a contribution in different ways, and tasks are continually redefined. Everyone has an equal, invested commitment to the organization. Companies like Apple and Google are often cited as examples of 'organic' organizations.
If companies can be compared to music, it could be said that mechanistic organizations are analogous with Baroque or Classical music in terms of their devotion to form, while mechanistic organizations are like 'jazz.'

Type 1 operational failures were forensically diagnosed as improper reproduction of the original tape tracking pathway. These failures likely reflected a degree of natural ability in visualizing the tape position necessary to restore function. This type of failure identified a missing component of the technical instructions capable of being redressed by the addition of another instructional step. Type 2 operational failures were forensically diagnosed as insufficient physical dexterity in manipulating the

The writer will then be ready to write a first draft where the outline is expanded into paragraphs (Introduction to technical writing/documentation) and a glossary of terms is created (The technical writing process). The writer will then revise the first draft, including checking for completeness and accuracy, checking that writing is clear and concise, proofreading with spelling and grammar checks, reviewing mechanics such as abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms expansion

Its advertising is not actually false, as the game is in accordance with a few of its promoted characteristics, only that the company needs to perform a series of other modifications in order for it to live up to its advertising campaign.
