Organizational Behavior

Topic 1: Organization Structure

Organization structure:

• Do some research on the Internet and explain what a flat organization structure refers to and then provide an example and explain why it is considered flat.
• Which type of organization will be around in the long term in your opinion? Which organization type (based on structural attributes) would you want to work for?

Topic 2: Cultural Dimensions

• For a company that has manufacturing facilities in the United States and in China, select two of the five value dimensions from Hofstede’s Framework (from pages 163–165 in Chapter 5), and compare/contrast these dimensions with how the United States facility would be run versus the one in China, based on these work-related values.
