Describe Gore’s global organizational design challenge?

Gore’s thought led him to break traditional management practices and create a company that would let human imagination and freedom be the key aspect. Although he faced a lot of challenges. He faced a major challenge where he need to find an answer for if he could build a company with no hierarchy where every employee is free to talk to everyone else? A challenge of creating a company where there are no bosses, or supervisors, or vice presidents. A challenge to let people choose what they want to work on, rather than a supervisor or boss assigning them tasks (Daft, R. L. (2016)).

What should Gore do to build effective global teams?

Gore should be able to identify the barriers that exist between national and international boundaries. Such obstacles include communication, perception, and harmony within the company. As work culture is involving teams operating across the globe, the team members should be separated in different facilities. Operations are to run with the level of autonomy where each individual or employee is contributing to a project while in a different facility or country with their team members (Cook, W., Hunsaker, P., and Coffey, R. (1997)). However, the employees should coordinate their activities in the development, production, and marketing of products to consumers around the globe.

How will Gore’s culture affect the virtual global teams?

The core belief is in the need to take long-term view in business situations, and to make and keep commitments, drives cooperation among individuals and small teams. The ultimate focus is on empowering talented associates to deliver highly innovative products. A more common culture in the entity is where each employee has a sponsor who watches over them while working to make sure they develop towards maximizing the performance of the company. The sponsors in turn should report on the progress of their assigned employee and whether their behavior is consistent with the company’s culture or not.

What is Gore’s strategy for the 21st century?

Along with globalization, Gore has a strategy of continued growth. One source will be from Gore’s employees contributing to new and innovative ideas. His culture is designed to create innovation and allow ideas to be evolved, developed and evaluated (Daft, R. L. (2016)). These ideas will lead to new products and processes. He also developed global teams to meet the 21st century. Hi strategy is based on its emphasis on globalization as a tool that will promote its overall growth. It should adapt to changes that come along with globalization.
