Challenges of Organizational Design

0:22

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

The basic challenges of organizational design are

0:26

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Balancing, Differentiation and Integration

0:30

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Balancing, Centralization and Decentralization

0:34

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Balancing, Standardization and Mutual Adjustment

0:40

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Balancing, Differentiation and Integration

0:44

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Differentiation is the process by which an organization allocates people and resources

0:49

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

to organizational tasks and establishes the task and authority relationship

0:54

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

that allow the organization to achieve its goals.

0:59

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

There are two forms of differentiation namely

1:02

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Horizontal Differentiation and Vertical Differentiation

1:06

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Horizontal Differentiation is the way an organization groups organizational tasks into roles

1:13

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

and roles into sub-units

1:15

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

otherwise called functions and divisions.

1:18

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Differentiation by specialization often referred to as

1:22

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Departmentalization mean

1:24

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

people with similar abilities working together on specialized tasks.

1:30

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Vertical Differentiation

1:32

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Vertical Differentiation is the way an organization decides its hierarchy of authority

1:37

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

and creates reporting relationships to link organizational goals and sub-units.

1:44

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

There is only satisfaction at work when employees prefer an environment

1:49

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

with well-defined processes and rules.

1:55

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Integration

1:56

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Integration is the process of coordinating various tasks, functions and divisions

2:01

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

so that they work together and not at cross-purposes.

2:06

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Integration is defined as achieving unity of effort among the various subsystems

2:11

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

in the accomplishment of the organization's task.

2:17

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Integrating Mechanisms or Techniques

2:19

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

There are seven integrating mechanisms or techniques

2:23

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

that managers can use as their organization's level of differentiation increases.

2:29

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

One Hierarchy of Authority

2:31

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

This differentiates people by the amount of authority they possess.

2:36

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Because the hierarchy dictates who reports to whom,

2:40

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

it coordinates various organizational roles.

2:44

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

2. Direct Contact

2:46

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Direct Contact among managers creates a context within which managers from different functions or divisions

2:53

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

can work together to solve mutual problems.

2:56

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

However, several problems with establishing these contacts.

3:00

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Because managers from different functions may have different views

3:05

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

about what must be done to achieve organizational goals.

3:10

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

3. Liars and Roles

3:12

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Managers can increase coordination among functions and divisions by establishing liars and roles.

3:18

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

When the volume of contacts between two functions increases,

3:23

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

one way to give one manager in each function or division the responsibility for coordinating with the other.

3:30

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

These managers meet daily, weekly, monthly or as needed to solve handoff issues and transfer problems.

3:42

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

4. Task Forces

3:43

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

A temporary committee task force is a temporary committee to handle a specific problem.

3:49

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

As an organization increases its size and complexity,

3:53

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

more than two subunits may need to work together to solve common problems.

3:58

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

For example, they may require input from production, marketing, engineering and research and development.

4:07

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

5. Team

4:08

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

A team is a permanent task force or committee.

4:11

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Most companies today, for example, have product development and customer contact teams

4:17

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

to monitor and respond to the ongoing challenges of increasing competition in a global market.

4:25

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

At Amgen, one of the most successful global biotechnology companies,

4:31

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

for example, the team system has proved to be a vital contributor to the company's success.

4:37

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

6. Integrating Roles or Departments

4:42

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

A full-time position established specifically to improve communication between divisions.

4:50

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Balancing, differentiation and integration

4:52

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

The design issue facing managers is to establish a level of integration

4:58

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

that matches the organization's level of differentiation.

5:01

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

As you can see, in this figure, you can see differentiation and integration opposing organizational factors.

5:14

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Differentiation means fragmentation.

5:17

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Differentiating mechanisms forces pushing the organization apart.

5:23

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Division of labor, technical supervision.

5:26

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Integration, otherwise called coordination.

5:29

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Integrating mechanism forces pulling the organization together.

5:35

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Formal hierarchy, chain of command.

5:39

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Standard policies, rules and procedures.

5:43

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Departmentalization, computer networks, cross-functional teams and committees.

5:50

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Human relations training for managers to help avoid interpersonal conflict.

5:55

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

License individuals and groups to bridge gaps between specialists.

6:04

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Break for questions.

6:08

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Question number one.

6:09

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

The most important elements and principles of organizational structure and structuring

6:15

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

include all but one of the following.

6:29

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

The correct answer is delegation and protein decisions.

6:38

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

They are not the most important elements and principles of organizational structure

6:44

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

because the other three, namely vertical differentiation, coordination and integration, horizontal differentiation

6:54

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

are the important elements and principles of organization structure.

7:03

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Dash is the extent to which various parts of organization cooperate and interact.

7:10

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

A. Integration, B. Differentiation, C. Formalization, D. Integration.

7:18

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

So the correct answer is integration.

7:21

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

As we have discussed earlier, integration is nothing but coordination and cooperation among various parts of the organization.

7:30

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

In this session, we have understood about the balancing, differentiation and integration.

7:35

S… Speaker 2 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Happy learning.

7:36

S… Speaker 1 (MBA_OB_unit 5_week 14_seq 3_Balancing Differentiation_Pandian)

Thank you.
