Principle of Designing Structure to Fit Strategy

/in /by

The organizational structure should be designed to fit the organization’s strategy. This is in line with the Principle of Designing Structure to Fit Strategy. The organizational structure is a set of relationships between its members containing coordination, division of labor and authority in order to achieve a goal. Organizational strategy is structured to ensure that organizational goals will be achieved. In general, organizational effectiveness is influenced by the achievement of objectives, acquisition of resources, internal processes and customer satisfaction strategies. However, since 1962, Chandler has argued that the most effective organizational structures are those that align with his strategy.
a. In your opinion, is Chandler’s statement still correct regarding the current global challenges of the organization? Elaborate your explanation by using the relevant theoretical review.
b. Provide a concrete example of the organization encountered (include the reference source of information)

Grain Operators Advantage Logistics

/in /by

GOAL (Grain Operators Advantage Logistics) processes grain products bought from farmers and ships them to supermarkets across the country. GOAL’s production levels have been rapidly growing since they first opened for business ten years ago, and their workforce has grown equally steadily as well. The two largest groups of employees at GOAL are the grain processors and the warehouse workers. The job of a grain processor consists of offloading large bags of unprocessed grains when they arrive, opening and emptying them on to a large work surface, checking to be sure they are free from extraneous objects, feeding them into a machine that removes the dry casings, ensuring they are packed in 10 kilogram bags and routing them to the warehouse for shipment. The job of the warehouse workers, on the other hand, is much less complex. Half of the warehouse workers are responsible for checking orders as they arrive and putting the requested number of bags on to a conveyor belt to the loading area. The other half of warehouse workers take the bags and place them in the trucks to be taken to the supermarkets. There tends to be a high level of turnover in both these jobs. Labor shortages are causing delays in filling the positions. According to exit interviews conducted by the HR department, a common theme is that the workers were not happy in their jobs. The grain processors in general felt that their jobs were too complex in comparison to similar jobs elsewhere. Warehouse workers often cited boredom as a reason for them leaving.

Questions 1. (a) How can job design help to address the retention issue faced by GOAL? and (b) briefly explain what job design approaches you would use for the two jobs in this scenario, and why.

2. Explain the purpose and benefit of using a Markov table.

3. In the GOAL case (a) which job would you recruit for internally and why? and (b) which job would you recruit for externally and why? Explain your reasoning using the information provided in the Markov table (Exhibit 1).

 

Calculation of Net Benefits

/in /by

Calculation of Net Benefits

$140 billion in benefits minus $6 billion in costs equals $134 billion in net benefits. Therefore, benefits minus costs equals net benefits.
Net benefit = Benefits – costs
= $140 – $6
= $134 billion

Part A. Monetary Valuation

The analysis estimates that the following benefits are worth $200 billion:

  • Direct medical costs averted
  • Valuation of quality of life gained due to non-fatal heart attacks averted
  • Valuation of life years gained due to fatal heart attacks averted

Next, the analysis estimates that cost to the industry and consumers is $17 billion.

  1. Calculate the net benefits.
  2. What does the value tell you as an administrator relative to the benefit of the procedure?
  3. Reimbursement methods

Part B. Answer the following questions:

  • What are the various reimbursement methods used by third-party payers?
  • What incentives are given to providers under each of these reimbursement protocols?
  • How do these reimbursement methods impact the delivery of health services?
  • What is capitation?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these reimbursement methods?

Effective performance appraisal system

/in /by

Read the Module 4 Case and scenario 1. After reviewing the module material, answer the following taken from the module:

The acting head of software development advises you that she wants to develop an effective performance appraisal system for her department. She remembers, from having taken a human resource management class as an undergraduate, that there are a number of different ways to measure performance and she wants your guidance in selecting one.

She also wants to make sure that the method chosen to measure performance fits the technical nature of the workers she supervises who work in teams. Knowing what an individualistic society the USA is, she suggests there be an individual and a team component.

Discuss the different alternatives that you recommend as the most effective for measuring the performance of software developers working in teams. Share at least three alternatives with the pros and cons of each alternative you suggest.

Answer/discuss the following: 1) What information will need to be gathered to develop the new appraisal system; 2) How you will make the performance appraisal job-related and valid; and 3) How you will mitigate the risk of rater errors when evaluating performance.
