As mentioned above the unequal division of responsibility within department due to lack of job design also results in a bad coordination within the organization. Examples of instance referred to in the case of Duplox would be the interdependence between the TSS and FSM teams; the sales department and the TSS’s, where the sales team don’t put much weight on the argument by the TSS’s that improper installation can cause higher repair and service cost. This not only creates discontentment between department but also affects the bonuses the Directors and managers gain based on the TSS’s productivity which is either met or exceed the past year. High- involvement managerial strategy the supervisor no longer would be the primary controller and evaluator instead would be the facilitator. They would help remove barriers to adequate performance and provide resources and assistance to subordinates to perform efficiently and allow decisions to be made at the lowest possible levels in the organization. The overall leadership style is participative or democratic in nature.

While working for the department, it became very apparent that the practices and management style of the Department Director significantly affected the culture and daily activities of the individual sections under his leadership. First, he would set objectives and standards for the individual sections. These objectives usually looked good on paper but were often unrealistic when applied to daily operations. These lofty ideals, set as goals to middle management, seemed overwhelming and out of touch with the reality of hands on field operations. As a result, middle management would frequently choose to either change or completely disregard the given directives. This disconnect in the chain of command would often cause confusion and inconsistencies at the operations level. Additionally, lack of follow-up meant the Department Director assumed his set objectives were being carried out while lower level employees remained uninformed.

The Student Organizational Fair at SUNY Potsdam is essentially where a=organization clubs at Potsdam put up tables and students would walk around and learn more about the clubs. This week I decided to check out the student organizational fair to see if there was any clubs that I would be interested in. I didn’t expect too much out of it in all honesty but I’m glad that I checked it out. There is one club in particular that I will definitely join and I wouldn’t have known about it if it wasn’t for this fair.

This paper will give a synopsis of the case, analyze the case study communications issues and risks, and evaluate Livingston’s selection of a project manager. It will also discuss the possible reactions from the employees, the impact on the cost and time on the

Iverson determined that one means of maintaining both quality control and costs was a highly decentralized organizational structure. Corporate staff was kept to a minimum. All decisions dealing with operations were delegated to the individual plants. Iverson believed that the managers closest to the action should be given the responsibility to develop plans to allow the plants, and the firm, to adapt to any changes in the environment. Iverson also gave plant-level mangers the authority to make and implement the decisions necessary to make these adaptations. Each plant manager gave a brief monthly report to headquarters and received a report comparing the divisions' performance. Major expenditures and changes were made by consensus at the periodic meetings of all plant and corporate managers.

Effective organizational structures define how job tasks are subdivided, grouped, coordinated, and managed. Six key components of organizational structures include division of labor, departmentalization, chain of command, span of control, centralization, and formalization (Remme, Jones, Van der Heijden, & De Bono, 2008, p. 79). Each element influence how employees interact with each other to reach organizational goals. Different structures are common in similar organizations among high performing organizations (Reimann, 1974, p. 707). The most appropriate structure will depend on the unique needs and culture of the organization.

The cultural norm was to operate only within your function. This “decentralized managerial philosophy” hindered proactive communications between departments that that could have assisted in the company’s transition to project management.
