Introduction

It is useful to focus on the importance of designing organizations that are flexible and responsive in the hyper-competitive and rapidly changing global marketplace of today. Because of the nature of today’s environment, it is absolutely critical that organizations be flexible, adaptable to change, and completely focused on the customer. This requires that they are able to completely reinvent themselves as necessary. It can literally mean the difference between success and failure.

Instructions

What do we mean when we talk about mechanistic and organic organizational structure? How do these types of structures influence organizational performance and the ability of an organization to learn and adapt to changes in the environment? Is one type preferable over the other?

Complete the following:

• Briefly define mechanistic organizational structure and organic organizational structure.
• Compare and contrast the main differences between the two types of organizational structure.
• Explain how environmental changes translate into mechanistic versus organic organizational structure.
• Describe how the current environment is changing and where you see it heading.
• Compare how mechanistic organizations handle the turbulence of hyper-change and hyper-competition versus how organic organizations address the same issues.
• Explain which type of organizational structure you feel is more applicable to the current local and global environment, and why.

To successfully complete this assessment, you will need to conduct some research into mechanistic and organic organizational structure. You should format this assessment as a research paper following current APA guidelines for style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each bullet point, while also being as clear and concise as possible.

Please note: The term environment is used throughout this course to mean all of the external factors that affect an organization. These include, but are not limited to, the overall global market, the industry as a whole, and the financial market.

Introduction

Organizational strategy is determined in many ways by the organization’s structure. Successful implementation of these strategies depends on the structure of the organization and how well the structure supports the organization’s goals.

What is the relationship between strategy and structure in designing a high-performance organization? The strategy will determine whether the structure is oriented toward functions, products, markets, geographies, or work processes. High-performing learning organizations have emerging designs that help connect structures of relationships and flows of information that allow them to evolve and transform, reinventing themselves for long-term sustainability.

Instructions

To prepare for this assessment, first use the Capella library to search for articles using the exact phrase strategy structure fit. From the large selection of scholarly articles, select at least three to use in this assessment.

To complete this assessment, complete the following:

• Provide a brief summary of each of the three articles you selected, along with a brief explanation of why you selected each article.
• Explain how strategy and structure are relatedhow they fit togetherto influence learning and performance. Use the articles to support your statements.
• Describe an example of a real-world organization that you believe has a strong strategy-structure alignment. What are some organizational characteristics that lead you to believe that the strategy is tightly aligned with the structure?

There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each part while being as clear and concise as possible.

Part 3

Summarize three scholarly articles about learning organizations and use the information in the articles to describe different aspects of learning organizations.

Introduction

Like people, healthy organizations “learn.” An organization becomes a “learning organization” when it develops processes, systems, and human resources that are capable of sharing knowledge, continuously innovating, and benefiting from mistakes and failures as well as successes. This process leads to a corporate mindset of continuous improvementalways striving for perfection along the way, understanding that perfection is a state which will never be fully achieved.

Introduction

Organizational design is at the heart of the strategy-structure-fit relationship. The organization’s broad strategy and goals must first be determined before designing the organization. Then the organization design team (usually senior management or the founder) must determine how best to structure the organization in a way that supports the overall strategy. Modern organizations can take on many different types of design. The days of the traditional functional organization are rapidly giving way to project-based matrix, networked, and even virtual designs.

Instructions

To prepare for this assessment, use Capella library to research each of the following designs:

• Functional organization.
• Matrix organization.
• Networked organization.
• Virtual organization.

You will find that the Capella library contains a vast number of articles on each of these organizational designs. You should strive to select at least two for each design in order to get more than one perspective.

For this assessment, complete the following:

• Define each of the four designs listed above and then identify a real-world organization example of each.
• Compare the four types of organizational design in terms of:
  • Structure.
  • Strategies.
  • Challenges they face in today’s environment.
• Choose one of the organizational designs from the four and describe how you would use that design to create an organizational structure that would lead to high performance.
