Organizational Structures and Leadership
This paper explains the organization structure (or a combination of organization structures) implemented at a specific organization and how it affects the decision making and other aspects of the organization. For that purpose the health care organization has been taken into consideration.

Organizational structure generally refers to the hierarchical, reporting, authority and leadership set-up of an entity. The structures determine the working, leadership and decision making styles of the management as well as the overall culture of an entity. Organization structures can be of many types like: (obins and Langton, 2010)

Bureaucratic structure or Line structure: Under this type of organizational structure the roles and responsibilities are clearly defined and it follows a well defined hierarchy, this type of structure is a highly formal organizational structure. A line structure has many levels of hierarchy and authority and the chain of command of the organization is complicated. The head of…...

In this study, the researchers explored the concept of "psychological contract" and how it applies to and potentially determines cultures and sub-cultures that would emerge in organizations. Defining it as "individual beliefs or perceptions concerning the terms of…relationship between the individual and the organization," psychological contracts are identified into the following dimensions: (1) vertical or horizontal, referring to social status and power in "exchange relationships" and (2) individualism and collectivism, reflecting people's self-concept, based from themselves and other people's perceptions (p. 1440). esults of the study showed that indeed, different countries manifested different kinds of psychological contracts from its employees. The Chinese tend to be more "custodial" in their approach, which is best described as a 'vertical-collectivist,' a highly cooperative relationship with also high regard to social status. The French have an "exploitive" employer-employee relationship (vertical-individualist), Canadians as "instrumental" (horizontal-individualist), and the Norwegians "communitarian" (horizontal-collectivist) (p. 1442).

Organizational Structure
There is one structural issue that will be examined. The hierarchical structure of CI is causing problems that affect the contingency factors most important to the CI organization including, Strategy, Sales cycle, and culture (Cengage, 2010). In the case study, Daly has assessed internal and external weaknesses and threats due to strategic direction.

The analysis reveals two internal threats to the organization that stem from the hierarchical organizational structure and communicating strategic goals and objectives (Oshagbemi & Gill, 2004). Without knowing what the goals for the company are, sales production and customer care has diminished.

Solution One Satisfaction Survey

One solution that supports restructuring the company from a hierarchy to a Matrix organization involves the sales team working with customers to develop and complete a customer satisfaction survey. Based on the response, goals will be addressed to improve business relationships, growth potential, profitability, and refocus on the customer.

Solution Two Transformation into a…...

For this reasons, employees report higher level of supervisory trust in such organizations. 'The effect of interactional justice on supervisory trust is more pronounced in organic organizations." (p.301) the reason for this is that in mechanistic organizations, supervisors are constrained by rigid rules and hence they are allowed to develop as close an interaction with subordinates as in organic structures.

Japanese consumers are also much more likely to eat meals at cafes. This required Starbucks to create a larger array of meal-based foods, rather than pastries. The Japanese tend to prefer drinking tea, as opposed to coffee, and once the initial novelty of coffee-drinking wore thin, Starbucks was forced to incorporate a wider array of beverages (Lewis 2003). Starbucks made coffee-drinking in Japan more popular than it was before the company took root on Japanese soil, but Starbucks had to adopt a nationally-specific approach to thrive in the Japan and suit the needs of the Japanese consumer. Having a division specifically devoted to understanding Japanese consumer habits was vital in facilitating Starbucks' growth.
Starbucks is an extremely complex organization. It is multinational, yet coffee tastes and preferences are highly regional in nature. Although it is a large food conglomerate, the character of different stores and food offerings vary widely, not…...

This structure is more commonly seen in Limited Liability Corporations and Partnerships. Typically in this environment power is more evenly distributed through a wider selection of middle managers. The political structure of the organization may be more volatile as more employees or staff members are likely to participate in decision making and strategic initiatives. This can contribute to an organizations success however, particularly in a global environment by enhancing diversity and knowledge dissemination throughout the organization. This is the organizational style more often seen in modern or contemporary organizations that have more global influence and deal with more diverse clientele and customer service bases.
Of course hierarchical management is also present in an LLC or partnership, where one or two people may have more power and influence over decision making and strategic planning.

Organizational Structure

This can be seen when employees emulate the boss' style of dress, work ethic, and approach to interpersonal relationships within the office. Therefore, the culture of the organization can range from very formal to very casual, depending on the personal style of the company's leader. (For example, Google has a hierarchical structure, but is led by a person with a casual style, which has resulted in a very casual office culture).
On the opposite end of the spectrum are organizations that lack a clearly defined hierarchy or where management has little power over employees. In those circumstances, it is not the influence of the organization's leader, but that of the workers, which defines the organization's culture. Again, the culture can range from very formal to very casual, depending on the personal style of the individuals involved, but will be a function of the normative culture of the group, rather than…...

Organizational Culture
Culture is an abstract force that impacts everyone that consents to its power. In organizations culture can be used as technology that may help or hinder the ability of that organizations' capability to succeed and accomplish objectives. The purpose of this essay is to assess the impact of organizational culture and the feedback loop that is created between the participants of that culture and the organization itself. This essay will discuss this idea in a general manner and applying organizational culture in an objective method that can apply to any hypothetical or real organization.

Mallinger et al. (2009) suggested that "understanding culture can be useful in two ways. First, cultural insight provides awareness of the extent to which organization members are willing to accept change; and second, a cultural assessment is likely to determine the root cause of the problems that impede stronger performance." To many this is obvious but…...

Organizational Structure
Critically discuss the extent to which an organisation's structure not only shapes its culture, but also its ability to transform itself

As with structure, culture is methodologically analyzable by virtue of its emergent status. Indeed, like structure, culture has relational, causal properties of its own, which confront actualizing agency in the form of situational logics (Archer 2006: Chapter 7). Cultural analysis is also a multi-level affair, from the doctrinal level, where, for instance, religious doctrine may contradict welfare policy, down to the micro-level. Just as any role within an organization can have contradictory requirements, so can cultural values. However, the problem currently vitiating the literature on 'organizational culture' is precisely how one can examine the relative interplay between society's 'prepositional register' and agency when culture is reduced to, or defined solely in terms of, what goes on at the level of causality. The realist assertion that culture as an emergent…...

Organizational Structure
Organizations can be of many types and it would be wrong to say that there are universal formulae for the success of all organizations. That is the reasons why there are managers to lead the organizations to success. They have to decide the type of organization it is and then adopt the required strategies that would lead it to success.

One of the recent developments in organizations have been organizations which have been set up with an alliance between two organizations or groups, or in partnership with each other. The requirement of these organizations are becoming very important as there is an increasing shift of work from the developed countries to less developed countries as the cost of labor in the less developed countries are much less. This is a very critical type of organization as it effectively has to keep two masters happy. The problems with this type of…...

There is also the use of project teams and committees that are in large part on a volunteer basis although the leaders that should or must be involved in certain projects are not having to have their arms twisted to get engaged. For example, a project that involves the accounting department would clearly need to involve the leadership and other senior members of the accounting team on one level or another. That all being said, stakeholders come in many forms and flavors and the formal leadership is far from being the only example and this organization understands and embraces that rather than shun it (Kalvar, 2003).
Conclusion

Both formal and informal leadership will be present in some form in even the most regimented and established hierarchies and organization are foolish to try and stifle this. Instead, they should embrace the idea and harness this phenomenon in an effective and managed way.…...

Organizational structure of a large, international or multinational company is important, and must be one that works well in all ways. If the structure of the organization is not handled properly, the entire company can be put at risk. The organization studied here is Wal-Mart, because it is so large and represents what many people think of when they think of a multinational corporation that is generally successful. The organizational structure of this corporation works, and there are several reason why that is the case. The most significant reason is that the organization's structure has been kept simple (Fishman, 2006). While Wal-Mart is a huge corporation that operates all across the globe, it has stayed small and humble in the way it has organized itself. Because it has done that, it has been able to continue to build itself up and use the profits made through sales to put back…...
