Set Friday 10 Dec due Friday 17 Dec
Carry out some research about an organisation. What departments or sections does it have? Is there an organisational chart that summarises its structure? If there is not a chart, construct one to show the organisation and hierarchy. The taller the structure the longer the chain of command will be. Discuss the span of control. Are decisions centralised or decentralised? Has there been any delayering recently? What sort of corporate culture exists in this organisation? Try and use the following key terms in your report - Delegation, Consultation and empowerment.
