ASSIGNMENT 2 ASSIGNMENT (REPORT) Introduction It is known to everyone that Microsoft has taken a huge decision and Integrated Skype into its software range. The results of this decision will be known to us in a few years. However, Microsoft is taking all the necessary steps to make the integration of Skype a successful one. Following is a report that is related to this feat achieved by Microsoft. This report will provide an overview of several OD models that are in practice, their pros and cons. Also a deeper look into the issues and problems that Skype has been facing from the outset will be analyzed. Then after all that, determining the best model that can be used for Skype, and a detailed explanation as to why the chosen model is the best one. Overview of different Organizational Diagnostic Models First of all, a short overview of a few OD models that are used in these days. LEAVITT'S MODEL In the year 1965, Leavitt designed a pretty simple OD model, which defines certain parameters within the organization, instead of the steering wheel behind the organization. These parameters are: task parameters, structure parameters, technological parameters and human variables. The task parameter means the tasks involved in providing services. The structure parameter defines the flow of work within the organization. The technological parameter includes are the necessary machines required. And the human parameter refers to people who are responsible for carrying out the tasks.

The study of Organizational Behavior (OB) is related to individuals, group of people working together in teams. The study becomes more challenging when situational factors interact. No two individuals are likely to behave in the same manner in a particular work situation. It is the predictability of a manager about the expected behavior of an individual. There are no absolutes in human behavior. It is the human factor that is contributory to the productivity hence the study of human behavior is important. Great importance therefore must be attached to the study.
This paper will describe what are believed to be the important elements of organizational behavior and how these elements challenge the effectiveness of a private security agency. Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study and application of knowledge about how people, individuals, and groups act in organizations. The purpose of the behavior is to build a better relationship and have objectives in the business.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) introduced five core competencies for healthcare professionals, to improve the United States healthcare system: provide patient-centered care, work in interdisciplinary teams, employ evidence-based practice, apply quality improvement, and utilize informatics (Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, 2003). IOM insists that should all five competencies are met, quality patient care can be achieved. Thus, healthcare organizations need to continually seek quality improvement in order to enhance patient care. The organization need to revamp their current charting system, in order to improve patient care.
There are six different organizational models: geography, number of employees, product evolution, and distribution of authority, control, and marketplace. Together work effectively to create an outline for how the company is laid out, and conclude how decision-making staff goes about effecting change in an organization is known as geography. Structure of the organization depends on how many corporate locations needed to account for in planning (Root III, 2018). As the company increases, the organizational structure needs to be adaptable enough to accommodate more employees and the possible need for a larger management organization (Root III, 2018). These are the first two models that complement the other four in the next paragraph that together work efficiently and grow for the future.

My Assessment of the Management and Organizational Behavior MGT501 course has changed from when I started. I was reluctant at first to stay in the class after I read the syllabus. With my work schedule and other priorities I thought the course was going to be too demanding. The main reason of taking online course it's because I don't have the time to be in the classroom and this course required of me to be online more frequently for the discussion part of the course. Usually I reserved an entire weekend to complete all my assignments for that two weeks; however, in this course I was unable to stick to my script. I had to be more involved and participated weekly in the discussion part of the course. That being said, I think this course was one
