According to Bolman and Deal, the core premise of the structural lens is defined as “Clear, well-understood goals, roles, and relationships and adequate coordination are essential to performance” (pg. 44). In an organization, structure is of vital importance, it lays a sturdy foundation which serves to decrease confusion and inefficiency amongst individuals of the organization. The core premise emphasizes that in order for an organization to reach its full potential, goals need to comprehended, appropriate roles need to be assigned to individuals and good management are imperative in bringing together an organization and increasing proficiency, in order to achieve established goals. Structure in an organization serves as the framework, where

No effective control and goal orientated leadership was visible. Nowhere during the four months did she ask for progress reports from the stakeholders, if she took any interest in the project and ask for progress reports, she would have seen that the project was behind schedule. No milestones were set to make sure that project goals were on track.

Assume you are an M-Global field engineer working at the construction site of a nuclear power plant in Jentsen, Missouri. For the past three weeks, your job has been to observe the construction of a water-cooling tower, a large cylindrical structure. As consultants to the plant’s construction firm, you and your M-Global crew were hired to make sure that work proceeds properly and on schedule. As the field engineer, you are supposed to report any problems in writing to your project manager, John Raines, back at your St. Louis office. Then he will contact the construction firm’s office, if necessary.

i. The new information systems project for an enhanced network firewall appeared to be on a very aggressive implementation schedule. When interviewed, the IT manager said that even if he put all the IT employees on the project full-time for the next two years, the project still couldn’t be completed on time. The IT manager indicated he had spoken to upper management about the issue, but upper management did not take any action.

Line chiefs were much of the time contending with each other instead of concentrating on the best enthusiasm of Macon. Each would trust the other would be the reason for venture delays as opposed to cooperating to stay away from venture defers inside and out. When dates slipped, fingers were pointed and the issue would intensify extra time. One of Macon's clients had an administration office that constantly pointed the finger at designing for the greater part of their issues. In the event that the machine was not amassed accurately, it was building's shortcoming for not archiving it plainly enough. On the off chance that a part fizzled, it was building's flaw for

Time after time many project managers will start out of the blocks full of excitement and passion about their project. Then along the way things start going wrong, whether it be unanticipated schedule or budget issues, an unforeseen risk spinning out of control, or an ugly issue rearing its head. Rather than act deliberately, many PM's will sweep the problem under the rug, start screaming "fire", panic, or politically disengage themselves from the problem by blaming someone else. In any event, rather than act to address the problem the PM does nothing to help the situation and most likely does things to further exacerbate the problem. If management is attentive to the problem then a likely outcome is to replace the project manager with a "closer"; a more experienced and seasoned PM who can stare down a problem and get things under control. Closers are worth their weight in gold to an at-risk

In addition, Craig fails to use his managerial position to delegate second level tasks to others, who are capable of handling those tasks. By focusing on second level tasks, Craig loses time and effort that could have been used to accomplish important tasks. When individuals at work focus only on what is urgent rather than what is important, organizational problems such as poor delegation which was previously mentioned, poor organization at work, and weak organizational hierarchy tend to occur. In this case, poor delegation of tasks makes it difficult to organize work activities within the company. Poor organization makes people less efficient and less effective. Less efficient and less effective individuals lead to weak organizational hierarchy. A weak organizational hierarchy can lead to a decrease in the overall productivity of the company.

We continue to see the bad actions of the manager and Mr. Ortiz, who are very coordinated to manipulate Mr. Greg Cornett, because they knew well that Mr.Cornett believes everything they say. Now in April, they are managing the panel supervisor to demand Mr. Cornett , increases for the panel and all of the panel's equipment, but rather to increase them, to be checked or renumbered. All this is true because Mr. Cornett knows, the panel supervisor and I told him all about it. This is the work of the manager and Mr. Oritz, because they are guiding the supervisor of the panel. If they achieve this, they can also demand its increase. We continue to see material losses of 39' that were ebullated from the panel and then broken and quickly replaced,

There is an interest in the benefits of telecare health care services, especially among patients who require hospice care. It is projected the number of elderly and terminally ill patient will continue to increase in the near future. Telecare is not a new phenomenon in the health care industry, it has evolved into an important aspect of health care and hospice. Thus, some of the important challenges facing the telecare team and the individualized field team included: inadequate knowledge on evidence based practices, lack of professionalism, and poor teamwork. The purpose of this essay is to assess three challenges faced in Telecare and apply my professional growth as it relates to these challenges. As I relate my co-op experience to the RN-BSN program I have noticed significant changes in my behavior and skills after the program. I have enhanced my knowledge on evidence based practices, I conduct myself in a more professional manner, and I have expanded my interpersonal skills to effectively work with interdisciplinary teams.

Damages: Just after two months of construction, the concrete floor cracked severely and broken down due to which the plant was shut down.

Former NBA player Sebastian Telfair has reportedly inked a deal to play for the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) side Fujian Sturgeons.

*This was a build/design project. The idea of making design decisions after construction was underway is an recipe for catastrophe in a project of this magnitude. The city's insistence that this be held to a tight schedule yet allowing multiple design changes was unfortunate. There were too many players, lots of pressure, and the whole project was run by committee with differing agendas. The project administrators had to balance administrative, political, and social imperatives.

They also didn’t appear to honor any form of schedule or business ethics because they were charging direct labor time to the project while working on other projects. Functional management appeared to lack leadership and direction across the whole unit.

The Teletech Corporation is currently using a single, constant, hurdle rate for their two different segments, which are, telecommunications services and products and systems divisions. Based on the estimate of corporation’s WACC, the hurdle rate is the cost of capital.

Lack of project management clarity: the planning activity had lot of material but lacked content, clear action items and lack of consensus on the milestones. The difficulties in the project only increased with time and a more performance driven style would have kept things on track if introduced early on.
