4. Which Path is the critical path? Please show your computation to prove it ( from no 3 )
5. PLEASE EXPLAIN ABOUT WORK SPECIALIZATION, DEPARTMENTALIZATION, AND CHAIN OF CONTROL. Work Specialization = dividing work activities into separate job with each step completed by different person Departmentalization
The basis by which jobs are grouped together 5 commons form of departmentalization :
1. Functional departmentalization = grouping jobs by function performed2. Product departmentalization = grouping jobs by products line3. Geographical departmentalization = grouping jobs on the basis of geographical region4. Process departmentalization = grouping jobs on the basis of product of customer flow5. Customer departmentalization = grouping jobs on the basis of specific and unique customers
who common needs Chain of Command :
The line of authority extending from upper organization levels, which clarities who reports to whom Authority = the rights inherent in a managerial position to tell people what to do and expect them to do it Responsibility = the obligation to perform any assigned duties Unity of command = the management principle that each person should report to only 1 manager
6. PLEASE EXPLAIN ABOUT SPAN OF CONTROL, CENTRALIZATION, AND FORMALIZATION Span of control = the number of employees who can be effectively and efficiently supervised by a manager Centralization
The degree to which decision making is concentrated at upper level in the organization This is common in organizations in which top managers make all decisions and lower-level
employees simply carry out those orders Formalization
the degree to which jobs within the organization are standardized the extent to which employee behavior is guided by rules and procedures highly formalized jobs offer little discretion over what is to be done low formalization means fewer constraints on how employees do their work
7. EXPLAIN ABOUT ORGANIC MODEL OF ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
Organic organization an organizational design that’s highly adaptive and flexible
Cross – functional teams Cross – hierarchical teams Free flow of information Wide spans of control Decentralization Low formalization
8. EXPLAIN ABOUT MECHANISTIC MODEL OF ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
High specialization employees are found to work separately and in their own assigned tasks Rigid departmentalization being complemented by the use of teams that cross over traditional
departmental lines Clear Chain of command the more clear cut the chain of command, the more effective the decision
making process. Companies without a clear chain of command can create an atmosphere of uncertainty and chaos
Narrow spans of control less people under the control of 1 manager. This allows a manager to communicate quickly with the employees under them and control them easily
Centralization the degree to which decision making is concentrated at upper level in the organization High formalization if a job is highly formalized, then the employees have less amount of confession that
what should be done, how it should be done, & when it should be done
