Micro control refers to the formation and the type of "clan" within the organization and the behaviour of the employees. It could be stated that, focusing the attention towards the internal functioning of the organization is a method of controlling the outcome of the company's efforts regarding the services which it provides its clients with. In other words micro control operations are necessary as a sort of basis for the macro control ones.
It is true that in terms of efficacy the company should focus more on the difference between input and output, but it is just as true that the internal management of the human resources is fundamental, especially under the circumstances in which the company has changed its approach to business and pretends to value the employee just as much as the customer. This is all the more true if we take into consideration the fact that the company serves several lines of business, not just one. Therefore all the services must be strategically coordinated and in perfect synergy in order to provide the company with a solid identity.
Since related diversification is the strategy that the company under discussion needs, it is obvious that there are some structural changes that should be made. The managers should act as power nodes, coordinating all the other members of the organization. Communication should function more efficiently within the parties which are directly collaborating to the achievement of a common goal. In addition, the members...
Teams should be created in order to work on separate projects. At the same time it would represent a supportive element allowing the company to provide the desired value-added service to all its customers, regardless of their business operating sector.
Creating separate teams for separate projects allows for a greater specialization and the delivery of a better quality service, especially when the members of the teams are encouraged to give their best and to come up with initiatives. Furthermore, managers with similar know hew will have to unite their forces in order to stimulate people with similar abilities and end up creating very successful teams.

HRM Issues One of the most important HRM issues that must be addressed is represented by the fact that the company does not use job descriptions. Although the practice of Nucor and the appreciation of both managers and employees have revealed that this system seems to be working, the situation must be changed in order to increase and to maintain efficiency. The company's motivational system is another area of interest in relation
The second HRM issue is that of training. The steel industry being characterized by mature firms, often supported by government, can breed complacency. Nucor needs to ensure that management at its acquisitions and joint ventures has a high level of training in the systems and techniques that Nucor uses to drive its innovation. This training needs to be diffused throughout the organization. This increases risk, however, in the joint ventures
This is a delicate balance for any organization to attain, and Nucor has been able to keep the variation in production process balanced with the need to keep employees motivated while changes in their business model are implemented. Based on your recommendation for related or unrelated diversification, identify the organizational structure issues that the company would need to address to implement that diversification. With related diversification the recommendation, organizational and structural
