This assignment calls on you to apply the things that we learned about in class to your current organization. If you are not currently working, all good. You can do the assignment on an organization that you worked at in the past. Alternatively, you can do the project on a specific organization that you are aspiring to work for in the future.
The deliverable for this assignment is a set of presentation slides. You should have a title slide that provides your name and the name of your organization. Then you should have 1 to 2 slides that address each of the following 5 questions:
- How would you describe the structure of your organization? Generally speaking, does your organization employ a management-centric structure, an employee-centric structure, or a crowd-centric/self-organizing structure? If your organization employs a traditional, management-centric structure, does your organization employ a functional structure, a divisional structure or a matrix structure? To what degree are the jobs at your organization highly specialized? What are the main means that the organization uses to integrate the efforts of individual organizational members (e.g., direct supervision, formal rules and procedures, negotiation and adjustment).
- How would you describe how decisions generally get made at your organization? Do decisions tend to get made using an advocacy approach or an inquiry approach? What is your assessment of the level of psychological safety at your organization, i.e., to what extent do employees feel safe in voicing concerns about things that are happening at the organization? How much decision making power do people at lower levels of the organization have?
- How would you describe the control systems at your organization? What are the key financial performance metrics at your organization? What does your organization do to assess customer satisfaction on an ongoing basis? What does your organization do to assess internal processes that are tied to delivering value for customers? What does your organization do to track important changes in its environment and adapt to those changes?
- How would you describe the incentive systems at your organization? What role do financial incentives play? What behaviors are any financial incentives meant to motivate? What other extrinsic motivations play an important role at your organization (e.g., the possibility of a promotion)? What are some intrinsic/internal factors that motivate employees at your organization to work hard at the activities that help the organization to achieve its goals and objectives?
- How would you describe the culture at your organization? What are the core assumptions at your organization? What are the core values? What are some important artifacts at your organization? How would you characterize the culture in terms of Hofstedes 6 dimensions of culture model (i.e., power distance; individualism vs. collectivism; masculinity vs. femininity; uncertainty avoidance; long-term vs. short-term orientation; indulgence vs. restraint).
