Implications for organisations
 
The material you have studied this week begins to expand on the foundational theories of organisational design and strategic change management, and to examine the ways that those theories can be implemented in the workplace.
———
The key concept that emerges from this material can be usefully summarised in the following statement:
 
Organisations can best prepare themselves for sustainable growth and development by managing according to a cycle of environmental change-adjusted strategy-revised structure-amended decision processes-enhanced organisational culture-environmental change.
An organisation that embraces this model will focus its managerial strategies on its core business model, the distribution of its resources in support of that business model and the ways in which it engages with its workforce in pursuit of its ambitions.
 
In an approximately 500-word response, address the following issues/questions:
 
In the introduction to this Key Concept Exercise, you have considered the need for organisations to continuously manage a sustainable growth and development cycle.
 
This Key Concept Exercise requires you to critically analyse the extent to which your own employing organisation, or another organisation with which you are familiar, is successfully meeting the management challenges this growth and development cycle implies. Your analysis should be based on answers to these questions:
 

  • What organisational structure has been adopted in order to assign levels of authority and to establish reporting lines? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this structure compared with alternative structures that might have been chosen?
  • How is this organisational structure reflected in the decision-making processes that apply to the design and implementation of significant organisational change?
  • What impacts do the decision-making processes in this organisation have on the way that the key functional activities of the organisation are performed?
  • What impacts do the decision-making processes in this organisation have on the organisation’s relationships with its external stakeholders?
  • In your analysis, address the extent to which the organisation’s structure and decision-making processes are effective, and identify any specific actions that would improve its ability to meet growth and development cycle challenges.
