Organization: NCAA
Contextual:
Size: nation wide, larger group of employees
Technology: Internet, people Environment: Intercollegiate athletes
Goals & strategy: maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the education program and the student body
Culture: maintaining the highest standards of quality and professionalism by working together in an environment that promotes respect, communication and teamwork; by encouraging professional growth and training; by supporting creativity and vision; by seeking out diversity; and by fostering individual empowerment and personal well-being. (From NCAA.org)
Structural:
Formalization: NCAA playing rule book
Specialization: have experience in intercollegiate athletics
Hierarchy or authority: Centralization: individual empowerment and personal well-being
Professionalism: respect, communication, and teamwork
Personal Ratios: there are different departments of various sizes dealing with things like advertising, student athlete relationship, and administrative
In general we feel that the contextual controls the structural for most organizations. Changes in the environment and technology will change the structural aspects of an organization. In this case with the NCAA however, we feel that the NCAA has been around for a long time and have been resistant to changes.
