Chapter 6 On-Line Discussion Post Your Organizational Choices

The main purpose of this Discussion Post is to get you thinking about your past organizational choices. For this Post, you will do the following:

1. Think about an organization into which you were hired. 2. List the characteristics of the organization you evaluated before you made the choice. 3. Then answer the following questions:

• In making the choice to be a part of the organization, did you consider just one or two important characteristics of the company (as with unprogrammed decision- making), or did you evaluate a longer list of characteristics (as with programmed decision-making)?

• In retrospect, were you satisfied with the organizational choice you made? • Do you think your approach to decision-making influenced your subsequent

satisfaction with the organizational choice you made? Explain why or why not? Note: Your discussion post should be 2-3 paragraphs in length.
