ottox159 commented on Organizational Strategy
I like how you made up an organization to fit the points that you are trying to convey about power and politics. I agree with the point that you made at the end of your blog about having certain personnel in place before adding different branches or product lines to an organization. Utilizing current employees is also important because you are using people that already know the culture of the organization and how the organization handles change; actors like these are great assets to an organization that is looking to add on in the future. I also agree with the...
Kristen Dockery commented on Decision Making
I am interested to hear what Andre has to say about decision making within an organization especially since he clearly has experience within the field. It further interests me because we are both involved in basketball programs here at the U so it is interesting to compare how different situations are dealt with under Tubby Smith and his team. One thing is clear and that is that the head coach ultimately makes the decisions within the organization....
Brian Grant commented on Organizational Structure
There's no doubt that the last paragraph was the key example as to what differentiates the good organizations from the ones that simply exemplify the proper structure. Communication and accurate and effective communication is the most important thing for an organization. If there isn't effective communication then all the different departments within the organization wouldn't be able to operate in a cooperative nature. I think the one thing that you'd find not only with the Red Sox but also with baseball teams across the country is that the most effective teams, not on the field necessarily, but organizationally all demonstrate...
Laura Schnell commented on Blog #5 Revised Philosophy
Alyssa talks about using the OE strategy of goal-attainment as the best way to run an organization. I think it is important for every organization to have goals set and try their hardest to reach them, but I think if an organization is only looking at their goals, they may miss some opportunities that come their way. In addition, the leader of the organization could set goals that are very unrealistic, therefore leaving the organization and their employees hopeless to achieve the goals they are supposed to be striving for....
hadl0058 commented on Culture
Although there are many aspects to the culture of an organization the one that really stands out in Yuri’s blog is the language. Language is a very unique and important facet of the culture of any sport organization. It is one of the more interesting parts of an organization. Not only does each and every sport have its own terminology and language for certain positions, plays, and people but also just certain business terms relevant to that industry or organization. At first the culture may be different than what some are used to but I feel that after a while...
