The UK public sector has been transformed over the past few decades. In an increasingly global economy, the main lever by which central governments can influence the success of the domestic economy is by ensuring its public sector operates efficiently. The central governments of the developed economies have adopted similar change agendas to transform their public sectors. These change agendas entail the introduction of new structures, new kinds of organizations and a ‘reinvention’ of many parts of the public sector. The intention of successive governments has been the creation of a ‘New Public Sector’, which is more strategic and corporate in its thinking. This ‘New Public Sector’ is intended to replace a public sector characterized by

Shimano is a manufacturer of mechanical bike components for mid- to high-end road bikes. They do not make frames and they do not sell directly to customers via retail stores, but rather to bike manufacturers that want to use Shimano’s components. They have been, by far, the leader in their industry for years. They netted around a 14 percent profit margin, dwarfing that of almost all bike manufacturers, and did so using their many competitive advantages over rivaling brands.

In large organizations, such as the Government, managing organizational structure is certainly a challenge. The most recent change in administration with the Government has created leadership turnover within the executive branch and its associated cabinets. This change brings about a number of challenges within the various components of the Government. Problems can be found both within the structure of the organization itself as well as in the way leadership manages the structure. Considering the definition of organizational structure as "effective communication, effective coordination, speed/responsiveness to the customer, and empowerment," leadership is the key to organizational structure (Schoology, 2017, p. 3). Although the Government has well established missions, visions, and goals throughout its various components, leadership often fails to manage the organizational effectiveness, which supports the mission, vision, and goals established by the leadership. The leadership required to synchronize organizational structure with the mission, vision, and goals of the organization, in order to obtain organizational effectiveness, is often overcome by personal and political agendas, such as control, advancement, or pay. These agendas can be cancerous

Managing and running a public agency is never a simple task. In addition to running efficiently and effectively, public organizations are often expected to be responsive to citizens. However, occasionally there are issues with the structure of an organization and its decision-making processes that are problematic. As exemplified by the case study involving Steve and the Department of Transportation (DOT), such issues are present and are therefore making its responsiveness to the public particularly poor. First, there is an extreme lack of cooperation between departments. Secondly, Steve makes some excellent suggestions, however, rethink his decision making process. Third, In order to become a more responsive department, first the DOT must rearrange its organizational structure. Lastly, by adopting a team approach, the DOT has the potential to become a more effective organization.

Organizations are a group of people working to achieve common goals and objectives through a division of labor. A well designed and functioning organization gauges individual strengths and assigns tasks with aptitude and ability in mind, allowing the group to achieve more as a whole rather than by individual effort. The definition is simple but implementation of that definition is complicated as organizations are subject to a multitude of factors that can both enhance or constrain their performance. Understanding and managing these factors to ensure success is the mark of a good administrator and reason for study of organization theories in public adminstration programs. While general principles of organizational theory provide a baseline approach to either the public or private organizations, there are attributes of each that requires adjustments for success in each. As often in public administration, context matters.

People need to know their role and If structures are not in place, then the outcome will not be positive. According to Litton (2014) the Wright report, (2010) found serious issues with the department’s structure and methods. Litton (2014) explains that while there was no explanation for the problems there were suggestions that issues lay with the department’s abilities and with its culture. According to Litton (2014) the Wright report’s (2010) found that the culture was that civil servants did not think that it was their duty to give their political leaders tough autonomous advice. The Panel noted that the Department didn’t ensure internal debate to support views presented to the minister. The Wright report (2010) also identified structural failings however, such reports as the Public Sector Organization Review Group (The Devlin Report) (1969); ‘Strategic Management Initiative’ (1994); and the OECD report (2008) all enlighten us how little has been achieved by the civil service, and point out how much needs to be done (Litton,
