Eagle Aviation Industries is in its initial start-up and is working towards establishing a structure for the company at this phase in its organizational life cycle. As an expert in organizational structure and design, you are asked to provide guidance on the components of organizational structure.
OVERVIEW:
Assessing organizational effectiveness reflects the complexity of organizations as a topic of study. Effectiveness is a social construct, meaning that effectiveness criteria are created and decided upon by people. Different people will have different criteria for what makes the organization “effective.” Leaders have to decide how they will define and measure effectiveness.
The board meeting must address the following:
1. Define the three components of organizational structure.
2. What are your recommendations for forming Eagle Aviation Industries’ initial structure in relation to the three components? Keep in mind the company has recently launched and is still in the start-up phase.
