Homework Answers
Answer 1:- As of now, the organization is structured as Departmentalization in which different department or division in the organization operate and function separately. This is not an effective structure for the organization as this is creating a lot of problems for the company in producing the new product due to lack of coordination.
Answer2:- The management can either go for the Team-based Organizational Structure in which the members of different departments can be combined to work on a project. As the company is looking to produce high quality sophisticated products, thus the involvement of various department’s employee will help in creating the coordinated efforts and better utilization of resources.
