Organizational Structure
One belief I have accepted in my life is the structure of many organizations. I believed that the layering of management in organizations was the right way to accomplish tasks and make important decisions. That is, until I really began to look at the structure, and rationalize it in my mind. Then, I began to see the problems inherent with many organizations, and reject the "normal" structure that promotes these problems. I have seen how the hierarchy of command often stifles new ideas and innovations in any organization, large or small, because of fear, misunderstanding, and distrust. This is why I have come to reject this type of layered management. A new type of organizational structure is being studied and attempted by many entities, including Ford Motor Company and the U.S. Military, and I believe that change is good, and even necessary, for most organizations to thrive and grow. Some new organizational structures remove the layering of power and decision, and give decision-making ability across the board. This allows all of the staff to join in the decision making process, and in the success of the organization, and I believe this is a good and positive step in restructuring organizations. As more organizations begin to realize there are new and innovative ways to involve everyone in the process, then more organizations will see the benefits of changing the way people report to one another, and how they solve problems. Removing the layers of management and hierarchy create more open communication, and remove the fear many staff feel when discussing new ideas and innovations. Having many people "in charge" in an organization may work for some people, but for most it stifles their creativity and need for challenge and growth. I reject the type of management that cannot learn from everyone on staff, and look forward to a time when organizations have the capacity to learn from within, as well as from the outside. I think that will be a new and better day for American business.
In this study, the researchers explored the concept of "psychological contract" and how it applies to and potentially determines cultures and sub-cultures that would emerge in organizations. Defining it as "individual beliefs or perceptions concerning the terms of…relationship between the individual and the organization," psychological contracts are identified into the following dimensions: (1) vertical or horizontal, referring to social status and power in "exchange relationships" and (2) individualism and

Organizational Structure Critically discuss the extent to which an organisation's structure not only shapes its culture, but also its ability to transform itself As with structure, culture is methodologically analyzable by virtue of its emergent status. Indeed, like structure, culture has relational, causal properties of its own, which confront actualizing agency in the form of situational logics (Archer 2006: Chapter 7). Cultural analysis is also a multi-level affair, from the doctrinal level,
Organizational Structure Organizations can be of many types and it would be wrong to say that there are universal formulae for the success of all organizations. That is the reasons why there are managers to lead the organizations to success. They have to decide the type of organization it is and then adopt the required strategies that would lead it to success. One of the recent developments in organizations have been organizations
Organizational structure of a large, international or multinational company is important, and must be one that works well in all ways. If the structure of the organization is not handled properly, the entire company can be put at risk. The organization studied here is Wal-Mart, because it is so large and represents what many people think of when they think of a multinational corporation that is generally successful. The organizational
Organizational Trends of Criminal Justice Criminal justice organizations were typically comprised from public resources and structures, yet there have been movements towards different style organizations that do not rely on the public domain for their support. The privatization of criminal justice organizations is essentially when such organizations are removed from the public control and placed into private ownership. A major reason for the privatization of such criminal justice resources is because
