The structure development of how a firm grows and expands goes through stages for development called Corporate Development.  Hunger, Wheelen, Hoffman, Bamford (2015)

have identified four stages for corporate structure. 

 

-        Simple Structure - Stage I

-        Functional Structure - Stage II

-        Divisional Structure - Stage III

-        Beyond SBUs (strategic business units) - Stage IV

 

Can you identify a healthcare organization and describe what stage of development that company is in?  What are the characteristics of that stage?
