A report published by Hay Group found that some managers have personalities suited to horizontal relationships, such as project management, and achieve results with little formal authority. Other managers are more suited to operating roles with much formal authority in a vertical structure. In what type of structure—functional, matrix, team, or virtual network—do you believe your personality would best fit? Which structure would be the most challenging for you? Give your reasons.
Students’ should demonstrate a clear understanding of the structures they select, and how those structures work, as they explain why they would feel more comfortable or more challenged operating within those structures.
Students who seek more formal authority should be more comfortable with a functional or matrix structure and more challenged by a team or virtual network structure.
Students who seek more flexibility and autonomy should be more comfortable with a team or virtual network structure and more challenged by a functional or matrix structure.
How does relational coordination differ from teams and task forces? Explain your answer.
Relational coordination refers to frequent, timely, problem-solving communication carried out through employee relationships of shared goals, knowledge, and mutual respect.
Teams, which are the most widespread trend in departmentalization, consist of the vertical chain of command as the powerful means of control; however, passing all decisions up the hierarchy takes too long and keeps responsibility at the top.
A task force is a temporary team or committee designed to solve a problem involving several departments. Task force members represent their departments and share information that enables coordination. Companies also set up cross-functional teams for coordination that work with continuing rather than temporary problems and might exist for several years.
