Introduction
Organizational structure is the foundation of an organization. It is the basic plan or design of an
organization that determines how it will function and how its parts will interact. The
organizational structure defines the relationships among the different parts of the organization
and between the organization and its environment. The organizational structure affects the ability
of the organization to implement its change management strategy. The structure provides the
foundation for organizing and managing resources, setting goals, and making decisions
(Lombardo, 2018). It also determines who is responsible for what within the organization. In this
project, some changes will be made in the organizational structure of IBM that is a multinational
technology corporation. This project will help to understand the contribution of organizational
structure and their impact on IBM’s design and strategy. Moreover, the project will also address
the change management project that IBM implemented in early 1990s to transform the company
from selling hardware to delivering solutions. 3
Change requirement in IBM strategy There were several change challenges that were required to support changes in IBM strategy.
One challenge was the need for a flatter organizational structure. The change requirements for
the IBM project were mainly to shift the focus of the company from hardware to delivering
solutions. This change was necessary in order to keep up with the competition and remain
relevant in the market. It was also necessary to update the company's image and appeal to a new
demographic. With a flatter structure, communication would be more efficient and decisions
could be made more quickly. Another challenge was the need to empower employees to make
decisions. With more decision-making power at the lower levels of the organization, employees
would be more engaged and would be able to take ownership of their work. Finally, the changes
in strategy also necessitated changes in technology and business processes. To support the
growth in analytics and cloud services, IBM needed to develop new technologies and update its
business processes (Gesmin, et. al., 2011). Overall, these changes required a concerted effort
from all levels of the organization, including leadership, employees, and management.
There were several barriers and change requirements in IBM’s organizational structure that
needed to be implemented. The company needed to become more agile and able to quickly adapt
to changes in the marketplace. This required a change in the organizational structure to enable
more decentralized decision-making and faster execution. The company also needed to focus
more on customer needs and less on its own internal goals. This required a change in the
organization's culture and management practices. IBM needed to increase its focus on emerging
markets. This required a change in the way the company operated, with increased emphasis on
collaboration across divisions and more focus on innovation. Overall, IBM needed to make several changes in order to support its new strategy. These
included changes in organizational structure, culture, and management practices. Further, the
company needed to focus more on customer needs and less on its own internal goals in order to
become more agile and responsive to changes in the marketplace (Stewart, 2004). Finally, IBM
needed to increase its focus on emerging markets in order to remain competitive. All of these
changes required a change in organizational structure.

Case 1 Chaz has an idea for a service business. It has worked well 1locally. The service involves
renting videos of college campuses to high school seniors. The colleges he has contacted are all
for it, and the students he has talked to are excited about the idea
well. The three banks he has
tried to borrow money from to set up the operation are skeptical, however. In fact, they have all
turned him down.
What entrepreneurial characteristic should kick in here if Chaz's business is going to
become a reality? Why is that characteristic so important in this situation? Why is it important to
entrepreneurs in general?

Problem:
Security breaches and confidentiality of personal data are important considerations in modern system design. But we have all heard the saying that “knowledge is power”. With the collection, categorization and analysis of big data companies can know more about its clients than the sum of its individual activities. The simple example of selling subscriber mailing lists has been dealt with, but what about mining transactions to create a custom profile of client trends and then selling this aggregate information. A company cannot pass on your personal information to another company, but can they pass on the Meta knowledge of all of the clients in the company?
