Management has heard rumors that a competitors redesign has made it more profitable but has also lead to morale problems. The executive team of Killer App Software has asked you to write a white paper that will inform them of the following: How different organizational designs can impact employee behavior in a positive and productive manner? Why new organizational designs are constantly emerging as the world changes? How some of the newer organizational designs might improve the organization?
