How can organizational structures and reorganizations be analyzed?
IntroductionToBusiness OP 8D04gAa / Critical Thinking Case
"Working the Net 1. Using a search engine, look for the term “company organizational charts,” and find at least three examples of organizational charts for corporations, not-for-profits, or government agencies. Analyze each entity’s organizational structure. Is it organized by function, product/service, process, customer type, or geographic location? 2. Search the archives at the Bloomberg Businessweek ( https://www.bloomberg.com ), Fortune ( http://fortune.com ), or Forbes ( http://www.forbes.com ) website for stories about companies that have reorganized. Pick two examples, and prepare a summary of their reorganization efforts, including the underlying reasons the company chose to reorganize, the key elements of the reorganization plan, and if possible, how successful it has been."
