The book states that for an organization to be effective, it must assess what it considers to be effective. For an organization to be effective it should develop a mission statement that can be followed by all its members as a strict procedure that allows for complete success.
Every organization should have benchmarks. This is critical because they need to have a way to self access themselves, just as students have tests. This will allow for the organization to see how and when they can improve to better manage their people. A classic example of setting goals and creating benchmarks within an organization is the U. S. Army. Throughout my two deployments to Iraq I watched the leadership set-up clear objectives in the first month that we were in country. From there the leadership is able to evaluate and critique what is working and why it is working. On the same note they can determine what is not working, unnecessary, and just does not fit the objects of the organization.
Organizations need to have a clear responsible image. This will help create sponsorships that can effectively help you attain the mission statement that you set forth. Having a clean image along with a positive attitude will help create a positive atmosphere. Have the right attitude amongst your employees will create a great work environment. If you are a positive boss, you can influence your workers or soldiers to work with a positive attitude.
Organization and management of personnel can be an effective way to make a positive impact on your organizations direct output. This will intern create the atmosphere you need to have a success full business.

In my opinion, a company needs to use on or a combination of the strategies that it listed in order to determine it's effectiveness. The things that were stated by Austin could work well for all companies, but it may not be specific enough for companies to determine if they are effective or not. In order for a company to determine if they are effective or not, they need to look internally at the different aspects of their organization. You have to use a different strategy to determine effectiveness for a non-profit organization as opposed to Nike, for example. Also one thing that Austin may have forgot to mention is the ideas of the different stakeholders involved. There are so many internal and external people that need to be involved in determining if the organization is effective or not.
I believe one thing that Austin may have forgot to mention is the importance of all the stakeholders in determining organizational effectiveness. You cannot just look internally at an organization to determine if it is effective or not. There are many stakeholders, boosters and sponsors for example, that will also want a big say in the organizational effectiveness decision making. There are so many groups of people that need to be considered to determine if the organization is effective, rather than just a few people, or the people with the most power.
Another thing is that to determine if an organization is effective or not you should probably use one or a combination of strategies that the book talked about. It may not be too effective in itself if the people that are determining the effectiveness of an organization are the people with the most power. Many people that are involved in the organization need to have their opinion heard for the organizational effectiveness to be determined correctly.
