10 important questions on Organizations and their structures - Lecture notes
Organizations contribute to society through quality of work and quality of organization. We distinguish external and internal requirements. What is the difference between these two?
Internal requirements refer to the internal organization. These requirements should be okay in order to contribute to the external requirements.
Why are turnover and abseteeism external requirements for the quality of work?
HVP structures are problematic because of the probability of disturbances and lack of regulatory potential. Regarding the probability of disturbances: how is this determined?
The amount of variety is caused by functional concentration.
The number of relations is caused by the parameters separation and specialization.
- If you do not have specialization you make the product from beginning to end.
- If you do not have separation you are responsible for dealing with disturbances.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is the major reason why lead time is long when having high functional concentration?
This causes problems for societal contribution and for developing the structure.
What are the two basic assumptions that underly HVP?
2. Agency theory; giving people too much authority / autonomy will go wrong
What are problematic structures?
1. Realize their societal contribution
2. Can't adapt goals and infrastructure
3. Are based on reinforce problematic basic assumptions
They're self-inhibiting
Elaborate on what the effects are of low values on the parameters separation and specialization
Low in specialization: you have overview of the entire process and are in touch with the goals and output.
If all parameters are low, then you have more time for design regulation.
What are parallel working structures?
What are the three drawbacks of parallel working structures?
- Requires degree of capacity usage
- Less economies of scale
Although the personnel costs are higher, in the end it is cheaper because you have way less overhead costs.
What are typical problems of functional structures?
2. No specialization
3. Transportation time (batch - stocks)
4. Waiting time
5. No overview of the process; things can get lost
6. All leads to; many mistakes, much rework and long waiting time.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
