Organizational Design
Your organization has just announced that it will be expanding to the
United States. You have been asked to make recommendations for the
organizational design of the company at the U.S. location. To prepare
for this, you will research other companies in your country that have
established offices in the United States.
Prepare a 700-1,050-word memo of recommendation to the management to
include the following:
1. Describe the work structures for organizational functions at the
parent company location.
2. Based upon your research, what challenges will your organization
face in creating a cross-cultural organization in the United States?
3. Will you duplicate the same organizational design that you
currently have at the parent company location? Justify your
recommendation to management, explaining why it is the most effective
choice.
4. If there is to be change, will there be reciprocal effects to the
home organization?
5. Do you recommend that the organization use a United States national
to lead the new organization in the United States? Explain your
recommendation, explaining why either a United States national or
someone from the parent company should lead the new organization. |
