Organizational Structures and Leadership
This paper explains the organization structure (or a combination of organization structures) implemented at a specific organization and how it affects the decision making and other aspects of the organization. For that purpose the health care organization has been taken into consideration.
Organizational structure generally refers to the hierarchical, reporting, authority and leadership set-up of an entity. The structures determine the working, leadership and decision making styles of the management as well as the overall culture of an entity. Organization structures can be of many types like: (obins and Langton, 2010)
Bureaucratic structure or Line structure: Under this type of organizational structure the roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and it follows a well defined hierarchy, this type of structure is a highly formal organizational structure. A line structure has many levels of hierarchy and authority and the chain of command of the organization is complicated. The head of…

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 collectivism, reflecting people's self-concept, based from themselves and other people's perceptions (p. 1440). esults of the study showed that indeed, different countries manifested different kinds of psychological contracts from its employees. The Chinese tend to be more "custodial" in their approach, which is best described as a 'vertical-collectivist,' a highly cooperative relationship with also high regard to social status. The French have an "exploitive" employer-employee relationship (vertical-individualist), Canadians as "instrumental" (horizontal-individualist), and the Norwegians "communitarian" (horizontal-collectivist) (p. 1442). The study…

Organizational Structure
There is one structural issue that will be examined. The hierarchical structure of CI is causing problems that affect the contingency factors most important to the CI organization including, Strategy, Sales cycle, and culture (Cengage, 2010). In the case study, Daly has assessed internal and external weaknesses and threats due to strategic direction.
The analysis reveals two internal threats to the organization that stem from the hierarchical organizational structure and communicating strategic goals and objectives (Oshagbemi & Gill, 2004). Without knowing what the goals for the company are, sales production and customer care has diminished.
Solution One Satisfaction Survey
One solution that supports restructuring the company from a hierarchy to a Matrix organization involves the sales team working with customers to develop and complete a customer satisfaction survey. Based on the response, goals will be addressed to improve business relationships, growth potential, profitability, and refocus on the customer.
Solution Two Transformation into a…

For this reasons, employees report higher level of supervisory trust in such organizations. 'The effect of interactional justice on supervisory trust is more pronounced in organic organizations." (p.301) the reason for this is that in mechanistic organizations, supervisors are constrained by rigid rules and hence they are allowed to develop as close an interaction with subordinates as in organic structures.

Japanese consumers are also much more likely to eat meals at cafes. This required Starbucks to create a larger array of meal-based foods, rather than pastries. The Japanese tend to prefer drinking tea, as opposed to coffee, and once the initial novelty of coffee-drinking wore thin, Starbucks was forced to incorporate a wider array of beverages (Lewis 2003). Starbucks made coffee-drinking in Japan more popular than it was before the company took root on Japanese soil, but Starbucks had to adopt a nationally-specific approach to thrive in the Japan and suit the needs of the Japanese consumer. Having a division specifically devoted to understanding Japanese consumer habits was vital in facilitating Starbucks' growth.
Starbucks is an extremely complex organization. It is multinational, yet coffee tastes and preferences are highly regional in nature. Although it is a large food conglomerate, the character of different stores and food offerings vary widely, not…

This structure is more commonly seen in Limited Liability Corporations and Partnerships. Typically in this environment power is more evenly distributed through a wider selection of middle managers. The political structure of the organization may be more volatile as more employees or staff members are likely to participate in decision making and strategic initiatives. This can contribute to an organizations success however, particularly in a global environment by enhancing diversity and knowledge dissemination throughout the organization. This is the organizational style more often seen in modern or contemporary organizations that have more global influence and deal with more diverse clientele and customer service bases.
Of course hierarchical management is also present in an LLC or partnership, where one or two people may have more power and influence over decision making and strategic planning.

Organizational Structure
This can be seen when employees emulate the boss' style of dress, work ethic, and approach to interpersonal relationships within the office. Therefore, the culture of the organization can range from very formal to very casual, depending on the personal style of the company's leader. (For example, Google has a hierarchical structure, but is led by a person with a casual style, which has resulted in a very casual office culture).
On the opposite end of the spectrum are organizations that lack a clearly defined hierarchy or where management has little power over employees. In those circumstances, it is not the influence of the organization's leader, but that of the workers, which defines the organization's culture. Again, the culture can range from very formal to very casual, depending on the personal style of the individuals involved, but will be a function of the normative culture of the group, rather than…
Organizational Culture
Culture is an abstract force that impacts everyone that consents to its power. In organizations culture can be used as technology that may help or hinder the ability of that organizations' capability to succeed and accomplish objectives. The purpose of this essay is to assess the impact of organizational culture and the feedback loop that is created between the participants of that culture and the organization itself. This essay will discuss this idea in a general manner and applying organizational culture in an objective method that can apply to any hypothetical or real organization.
Mallinger et al. (2009) suggested that "understanding culture can be useful in two ways. First, cultural insight provides awareness of the extent to which organization members are willing to accept change; and second, a cultural assessment is likely to determine the root cause of the problems that impede stronger performance." To many this is obvious but…

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, where, for instance, religious doctrine may contradict welfare policy, down to the micro-level. Just as any role within an organization can have contradictory requirements, so can cultural values. However, the problem currently vitiating the literature on 'organizational culture' is precisely how one can examine the relative interplay between society's 'prepositional register' and agency when culture is reduced to, or defined solely in terms of, what goes on at the level of causality. The realist assertion that culture as an emergent…

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 which have been set up with an alliance between two organizations or groups, or in partnership with each other. The requirement of these organizations are becoming very important as there is an increasing shift of work from the developed countries to less developed countries as the cost of labor in the less developed countries are much less. This is a very critical type of organization as it effectively has to keep two masters happy. The problems with this type of…

There is also the use of project teams and committees that are in large part on a volunteer basis although the leaders that should or must be involved in certain projects are not having to have their arms twisted to get engaged. For example, a project that involves the accounting department would clearly need to involve the leadership and other senior members of the accounting team on one level or another. That all being said, stakeholders come in many forms and flavors and the formal leadership is far from being the only example and this organization understands and embraces that rather than shun it (Kalvar, 2003).
Conclusion
Both formal and informal leadership will be present in some form in even the most regimented and established hierarchies and organization are foolish to try and stifle this. Instead, they should embrace the idea and harness this phenomenon in an effective and managed way.…

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 structure of this corporation works, and there are several reason why that is the case. The most significant reason is that the organization's structure has been kept simple (Fishman, 2006). While Wal-Mart is a huge corporation that operates all across the globe, it has stayed small and humble in the way it has organized itself. Because it has done that, it has been able to continue to build itself up and use the profits made through sales to put back…

The narrowness is from the singular focus of each position: regulatory issues and scientific study.
The span of control for the Deputy Assistant Administrator for Operations and the Director International Affairs is narrow but deep. The director of international affairs must be knowledgeable of the international laws, issues and players of the countries with whom the U.S. may have disputes. The skills of the administrative team differ greatly from those of the other divisions; however, all the other divisions need these skills -- finance, accounting, and technology -.
A divisional organizational structure groups together subject matter experts and provides them with a clear scope of responsibilities. At NOAA Fisheries, two of the teams, the regulatory and scientific teams, are regionalized. Each of theses divisions have the responsible for a specific skill set which needs to be replicated in different areas within the U.S. The strength of a divisional structure is that…
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 of a lack of funding or other resources on behalf of a public government to carry out the tasks at hand. Privatized organizational structure is often quite different from the types of structures seen in public criminal justice organizations. Often, private organizations are contracted by local governments to augment the already established criminal justice structure. Thus, privatized organizations may be much smaller or more specified in regards to their organizational structure in compared to traditional criminal justice organizations. This means…
As such, the competition with potentially more efficient internal environments are in a better position than Airstar.
As a solution, Robinson's six principles are mainly directed towards better focus in terms of task assignments and internal structure. Communication should however not be overlooked in determining solutions for Airstar, Inc.
Recommendations
Generally, Robinson's principles appear to focus on internal changes that would provide Airstar with a better position from which to handle external environmental changes. Concomitantly, Morgan should consider how internal structural factors relate to the six principles. Because of the long lifetime of the company, for example, formalization in terms of written rules and regulations seems to be lacking. Communication is an important factor in this as well.
It is recommended that Airstar, Inc. begins its internal transformation process by creating a list of recommended rules, regulations and policies. It is suggested that these initially be communicated in writing, providing employees and managers…

Organizational Structure on Communication (internal/External Factors)
Internal communication is useful for proper communication between management and the employee and also between employees and their fellow employees
External communication is the mode at which an organization relates to its customers or the general public and includes marketing, public relations, investor relations, and corporate advertising.
Communication in organizations has the following importance
It changes individual's attitude towards the organization this is because the employees will be more informed of what is going on within the organization.
It keeps all the workers and the management informed hence hastening the decision making process within the organization
It keeps employees motivated by making it clear on roles to be played by each employee and how they can improve their performance.
It brings individuals in the organization together
Communication sets some limits for the employees in an organization. It clearly sets the policies and guidelines to be followed.

Discussion Assignment: Discussion 3In what ways can a companys structure and culture be an internal strength or weakness?Company structure, according to Newstrom (2014) could be conceptualized as the format in which an organizations business units as well as departments are organized. It therefore follows that there are various ways in which the said organization could be done; i.e. functional organizational structure, divisional organizational structure, simple organizational structure, etc. (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2018). The organizational structure could be an internal strength in those scenarios whereby it is aligned with the specific operational aspects of the company. For instance, in those instances where there is need to ensure that employees are grouped according to specialization, a functional structure would be most ideal. This is especially the case when as a consequence of the nature of its operations, an organizations is keen to attain departmental competence. On the other hand, a…

Naval Case Study
Modern organizational structures are so highly complex and competitive that the old paradigm -- improving efficiency and the bottom line, is no longer all it takes to be successful. Instead, continued reinvention of both materials and capabilities is not only necessary, but will ensure continued success. This is particularly true as a paradigm for the military organization, which needs to field operations with as few limitations as possible. One seminal example of this paradigm shift involved the development of continuous aim firing for the U.S. Navy.

Organizational mission: the organization's mission and purpose, stated in terms of benefits to customers, employees, and society
The mission of an organization is its guiding purpose, its reason for existing beyond the superficial aims of profiting its shareholders, owners, and staff members. At the very least, the organizational mission is linked to its core goals or objectives, which include the target population or market it serves, as well as why, and most importantly, how it will achieve those goals (Ahmed, 2019). The organization can also choose to break down its mission into more specific parts, explaining factors like its operating goals, overall performance objectives, use or allocation of resources, position in the marketplace, and more (Daft, 2013). Its mission statement will typically reveal the organization’s role vis-a-vis society at large, the target market or customer base, and also its employees.

1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Interrelationships between Organizational Functions and Impact on Organisational Structure
Organizational Functions
The functions of an organization take into account the different aspects undertaken by the business including production or manufacturing, marketing, sales, accounting as well as research and development. In accordance to Sherman and Thompson (2019), the organizational structure delineates the relationship and interrelations between the functions of a business and ascertains the manner in which the chain of command operates through the various levels. The interrelationship between organizational functions and organizational structure is akin to a flow chart. This is in the sense that an entity can set up its business structure around the organizational functions. However, even if the entity fails to do so, the organizational functions and structure will have an impact on one another (Sherman and Thompson, 2019).
Functional Organizational Structure
A functional organizational structure creates distinct and separate departments. Plenty of businesses adopt a…
Org Structure
An organization's structure affects many aspects of the organization. Kanter (1999) notes that people within an organization tend to operate in line with the messages that they are receiving, so structural elements do affect culture and vice versa. An organizational structure reflects how the people at the top of the organization view how the organization works. So if you have, for example, few new products, you might just work with a geographic structure, and that would encourage people in the company to adopt a transactional mindset, building stability within a tightly defined context. However, if products are the basis of the organizational culture, this might have people working on a specific product become more oriented towards growing that product. The orientation of the company is different so the way that people within the company see themselves and their roles is also going to be different. Buhler (2011) also notes…

Org Structure
The Boardman Management Group has a simple organizational structure consisting of a single unit. All of the management is located in one facility, which is situated adjacent to the primary area of business. The group uses this structure because most of its business is the Baderman Island Resort. It is not known if the Group even manages the original portfolio of cottages and hotels, but there are some offsite properties that are also managed from this central location. Presumably the rationale is that these properties are not a major part of the business, and it is easier to have management centrally located than on-site.
This type of organizational structure is typically utilized for firms that have a single business, and a narrow geographic scope. All of the functions can work closely together when they are in a central location. The company's units have a higher degree of cohesion, and there…
Resolution often needs to be imposed from above.
A third type of communication problem at firms operating a matrix structure is that of corporate culture clash. In the case of Spectrum, the regional head office may wish to impose upon the different product functions the head office corporate culture. Each of the functional firms, however, may have its own culture and may find that it benefits from certain cultural differences. These differences, however, can cause communication problems and discord.
ithin the multidivisional structure, one type of communication that can occur is that the company only shares some types of information well, but not others. hen Apple reorganized into a multidivisional structure, some groups communicated very well, but ultimately the results did not generate any congruencies or economies of scale advantages -- the wrong people were communicating about the wrong things (Grant, 2002).
Another form of communication problem that can occur with a…

Organization Structure
ROWE Model
With each organization looking for the most efficient ways of getting work done, there has a risen a necessity to try out several modes of operation that would enable the intended results in an organization to be realized. This was one of the driving forces that prompted Best Buy to change their mode of operation to the ROWE model.
The other very significant reason behind the ROWE model is the employee burnout that is experienced by the majority of the people who are stuck to their desks from morning straight to evening with very short breaks in the name of working from the office. This results into loss of balance between the work-life aspects.
It is also significant to note that the employees looked at the clock system as one full of dogma with the bosses requiring them to be physically present at all the working hours, some were even…
They might have a different structure at higher levels where more innovation and creativity is required, but at the lower levels everything is based on a machine-like system -- that system is what the franchisees pay for.
Another type of organization is the professional bureaucracy. This type of organization also has a high level of bureaucracy to its nature, but differs from the machine bureaucracy in that there is also a high degree of specialization. Organizations that rely on knowledge workers often have this strategy. While there are a lot of rules and procedures, the actual output is produced by highly-trained professionals, not unskilled labor. An example of this type of organization is a hospital or university (Mantkelow, 2014).
For any given company, there might be differences in the optimal structure. Many industries will gravitate to one structure over the others because it best suits firms in that business. Other structures…

They do this by supporting the different functions and subgeographic groups such as those outlined in Exhibit C. Exhibit B. illustrates the role that each of the different functions plays - they are on a par with Ground Operations in the structure, but perform a staff function.
c. The organizational design at FedEx best serves the company's needs. Despite the company having operations around the world, there is little need for matrix structure. There are several reasons for this. One is that the company's core Express operation requires close coordination globally. The company presents a face to the consumer that is united globally, a function of the global nature of the service. Therefore, it is logical that each operating company be run from one head office, with operations managed at the regional level, because all areas must be working closely together within a given operating company.

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.
This conflict over change is actually very productive as it forces innovation into cultures (Flanagan, unde, 2009). The bottom line is that organizational structures can be changed, and it often takes a CEO to bring lasting and significant innovation to their company as they lead. From being more customer-centered (Peterson, Anand, 2004) to embracing the need for greater innovation (Tellis, Prabhu, Chandy, 2009) organizational structures can change as the underlying cultures do. It takes exceptional effort however and often an external set of circumstances to force change over time.

Large amounts of employees cannot be easily dealt with by one, or sometimes even a few, corporate officers, as the Nucor example makes clear. Corporate officers often can make better use of their time in other ways. If a company begins with a large number of employees, simple structure may not be the answer for them. Similarly, if employees in plants are large distances from the corporate headquarters, or the company has a variety of plants, a separate structure must be adopted for each plant in order to best deal with the problems that arise there. Relying on a single CEO or small group of officers in this case may lengthen reaction times and end up in financial or literal disaster for companies. Finally, a complex structure encourages a great deal of respect while a simple structure can be interpreted as loose and informal, with every day workers appealing…

Bon Secours Organizational Structure
I n 1824, in Paris, amidst the devastation following the French Revolution, a group of 12 women came together to form the congregation of the Sisters of Bon Secours, French for "Good Help" and the Sisters' purpose was to nurse the sick and dying in their homes (Bon Secours, N.d.). The group later arrived in the United States towards the end of the nineteenth century and has been operating there ever since. The organization has grown to include many locations in several states on the East Coast. The organization still operates with their Catholic heritage in mind and much of the cares provided in these organizations are charity cases. The organization consists of a staff of over 21,000 and well over 60 facilities in six states

Why Flattening Hierarchies and Empowering Teams Is a Strategy
Flattening, also called delayering, simply refers to the removal of layers in the organizational hierarchy of a company, and the expansion of the manager's span of power. The supposed benefits of flattening run basically from pushing decisions down to improving client and market responsiveness to enhancing drive as well as responsibility. This is a strategy because the basis of flattening seems positive: to stay competitive in the face of more competition, for example, companies should pursue a streamlined, effective organization, which could respond to clients more rapidly (Wulf, 2012).
An empowered worker has the power and responsibility of making decisions, instead of the need to get instructions or consent from the manager. In an empowered team, every teammate has a say in group discussions. The team might make alterations to their product or project at will. An organization structured around empowered…

Basically then it can be assumed that the current structure is functional with some problems. The views regarding the typical system can be explored first so that the INGs system can be placed better. In the basic framework it seems to be working, and it is better to leave the structure which is working till there is found a very sure alternate. Some things that would be essential to understand would be what work specialization is, chain of command and span of control. These are the basis of any system.

The number of levels between CEOs and the lowest managers are dropping. In terms of pay it is stated that pay and incentives become more like a partnership. A concrete example is the outline of organizational flexibility of University of Phoenix. In terms of pay, the old structure promoted a fix sum, regardless of the hours worked, while the new one introduced the notion of salary exempt that allowed a flexible pay system; the salary new structure allows for retribution according to performance as well. The same flexibility can be noticed in terms of hiring techniques, which added a background check to the original procedure. The job descriptions suggest that the new way involves a wider span and a horizontal dispersion of hierarchies suggesting a more collaborative approach. However, the power remains somehow centralized due to the preservation of some hierarchical levels.

(Borgatti, 1996)
Unlike a media conglomerate like Disney or Time arner, an advertising firm has a large number of creative talents that work as a part of teams or cells, on particular accounts in a fairly independent fashion. For example, the Omnicom Group is an advertising, marketing and corporate communication conglomerate, rather than an agency with a singular and notable figurehead that manages such accounts as Gillette and has thirteen corporate branches under its letterhead. But this largeness makes it easier for the firm to take risks in accounts in selecting clients and launching campaigns, in case one campaign fails or a client is lost, another campaign may be just as likely to succeed. hen businesses cannot standardize their product, diversity is key.

OGANIZATIONAL THEOY AND MANAGEMENTOrganizational Theory and Management: Effect of Organization Structure on PerformanceFrom the onset, it would be prudent to note that various studies have been conducted in the past in an attempt to establish how the organizational structure of enterprises in the private sector affect the performance (specifically, business performance) of the said enterprises. In essence, there is also need to assess how the performance of entities in the public sector is affected by organization structure. This is particularly the case in the realm of public health. Alongi (2015), the author of a study titled A Case Study Examination of Structure and Function in a State Health Department Chronic Disease Unit, makes an observation to the effect that most of the literature available on this subject largely focuses on the functioning of public health departments in their efforts to have a positive impact on the health as well as…

When considering motivation, a person might lose his or her motivation at work by losing the satisfaction of his or her main lower-order needs. An employee who is obliged to work under dangerous or physically unpleasant conditions, for example, would be likely to lose his or her motivation. Another factor is compensation, which is the most immediate motivator for job performance. Salary is directly related to the ability of employees to meet his or her own immediate needs in terms of food, shelter, and clothing, which are at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
If this is no longer sufficient to meet these needs, an employee's motivation would be unlikely to last very long. This can then also be seen as the main reason behind striking for higher salaries; when employees no longer feel able to meet their own and their families' basic needs, they are likely to become dissatisfied…

organizational culture and diversity helps me to understand my current workplace and the issues we face. All organizational theories provide some insight into the organization, with diversity theories and organizational culture and management theories being especially relevant because we are a small company with a diverse workforce. In spite of the tremendous benefit and opportunities presented by diversity in the workplace, I do not see that our current owner/chief executive understands well enough how to capitalize on diversity. The chapter on diversity in the text points out how diversity management is fast becoming a critical management strategy not just because of ethics and social justice, but also because diversity is good for business.
A business-focused diversity management strategy would help our small private ambulance/paramedic company improve our branding, attract a broader clientele, and expand the business. Equally as important, a cohesive diversity management strategy would help our company retain top…

Organization's Structure
Organizational structure is defined as a framework that a company uses to distinguish roles and responsibilities, power and authority as well as the method information flows within the organization. A company may choose a structure that will assist in reacting to changes and uncertainties from both external and internal environments. A suitable organizational structure will assist a company to implement proper decision making and operating procedures, which will aid the organization to achieve their goals and objectives. A common approach in assessing the organizational structure is to examine both the mechanistic and organic structures, which is the effective tool to rate an organization business process. (Dust, esick, & Mawritz, 2014).
The objective of this study is to assess the Apple Inc. organizational structure and uses the 10-likert scale to evaluate the structure of the company. The study provides the recommendations for Apple to improve their organization structure.

Organizational Change and Management
Organizations have set goals and objectives that should be achieved within a specified period. For organizations to achieve them, they should have structures that would ensure that the needed activities are done in the desired way. Maguire (2012) defines the organizational structure as the way in which people are grouped to get work done in a firm. It forms the basis for the development of an effective relationship between different stakeholders such as managers and the employees. Organizational structures can be grouped into different types that include matrix, functional, and divisional structures among others. Evidence shows that the type of structure used in an organization influences its members significantly.
Organizational structures affect job satisfaction among the staff of a firm. According to a literature review performed by Thomas (2015), it became evident that nurses who worked in hospitals where decentralization was used in task execution and decision making…
Technology: Influence on Organizational Structure and Future Practice
Influence on Organizational Structure and Future Practice: Technology
Technology has changed the way people interact, and how they conduct business. Social media platforms have made it easier for organizations to market their products and extend their coverage beyond geographical boundaries. This text analyzes the role of technology in the modern-day organization, including how it influences organizational structure, organizational authority, and future professional practice.
Technology has, and continues to change the way we live our lives, including how we interact with each other, and how we conduct business. Social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter are an integral part of the modern-day organization. These technologies assist organizations in interacting with their customers and also marketing their products beyond geographical borders.

Managing the Organization's Structure; McDonald's case study
McDonald's represents the biggest fast food chain in the world, with its key products being burgers, soft drinks, French fries, desserts and shakes. Increasing health consciousness and trends against obesity have called attention to the company, which, by all accounts, has contributed majorly to rapid growth of obesity in its customers. Foods marketed by the company (all fast foods, in fact) are unhealthy, being loaded with salt and fat, and having minimal nutritional value (About McDonald, 2015).
The organization I work in shows the following scores, based on the McGinty/Moss survey:
It has a deliberative traditional culture
Questions 6-10: It doesn't portray a stable/established culture
Questions 11-15: It has an urgent or seat of the pants culture
The question category 1-5, which labels my company's culture as traditional showed the most number of 'true' responses in the McGinty/Moss 'true/false question' survey. This score is in agreement with…

Elizabeth's organizational structure would best be described as an adhocracy, or an organic organizational structure that is relatively fluid and dynamic (Nunnery, 2012, p.161). Different components of the organization attend to various needs of elderly adults and persons with disabilities, spanning from long-term care, adult daycare, hospice care, and other supportive services such as assistance for elders experiencing abuse at the hands of their caregivers. An organic rather than a bureaucratic structure is needed because there is often overlap between the different services required by patients. Some patients may begin with a need for treatment of a specific ailment like a fall in…
