Organization Research Paper: Evaluation of an Organization: Report to Mgmt
The endeavor should be an in-depth analysis of the organization primarily in terms of organizational behavior concepts. Evaluate an organization in which you have worked, or are familiar with internal operations. Imagine yourself as an independent consultant appointed by the Board or the CEO to evaluate this organization. Describe this organization so that others could relate to it (primary product/service, country/region, industry, size, structure, number of employees, etc.). The relevance of the following questions should be considered (only provide answers for the questions that are necessary to analyze your organization). Are there any OB issues you can easily identify? What are they? What are great things you have found in this organization? Evaluate the organization based on the new ideas you have learned. Identify management diseases and obstacles. Are there any systemic problems? How many layers are in this organization; what are they? How many layers should there be? What is the organizational structure, and what should it be? Are there differences between the paper/HR-based organizational structure and how the organization functions in reality? What would a more effective organization look like? How big are the roles of the employees? How effective are the organization’s leaders? What is their character/leadership style? Are the annual revenues/funds of this company/department consistently increasing or decreasing? What recommendations for improvement would you offer to the CEO and the Board?
