To prepare for this discussion, review the article "Accelerate!" from this unit's studies.

Today's business organizations operate in a fast-changing, sometimes volatile business environment, and must be able to change and adapt quickly.

Using the principles outlined in the article, "Accelerate!", discuss how organizational structure can be used to an advantage in creating a nimble, adaptable organization. Support your ideas with an example from a business; if possible, use a business in which you have worked.
