Discussion Post
Reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Respond to the following prompts: "What do I feel are the most important aspects of my learning in the chapters this week?" and "What about this learning was really worthy of my time and understanding?" Then explain how important it is in society or business.
Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:
• Describe the organizational structure of your school or company. What difficulties have you encountered working within this structure?
• Write a job description for a project manager in a matrix organization. Assume that only the project manager is employed full time by the project.
• Henry Ford invented mass production. In doing so, he perfected the assembly line concept in which each worker does only one job or a handful of jobs and is given little other responsibility. This worked well for 70 years; however, it became apparent in the 1990s that an increasing number of U.S. companies could not produce a high-quality product by sticking to the assembly line model. What has changed?
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
