Unit 9: Foundations of Organization Structure - Discussion

In this Discussion, you will compare and contrast different organizational structures, identifying their key elements.

The textbook reviews common and newer organizational designs. Give them a review and then answer the following question:

• With regard to your current organization (or one with which you are familiar), which design structure is being used?
• Would you consider this same organization mechanistic, organic, or hybrid?
• Do you believe this structure and design are effective given the product and the business environment? Why or why not?
