The purpose of Assignment #3 is to explore your organization’s structure (as evidenced by their organizational chart) and critical business functions. You will also create a job description for a manager position (selected from your organizational chart) and design a series of interview questions to be used with candidates for your selected job. Your written response for Assignment #3 should be 3 to 4 pages in length and include the following four sections and their respective content:
Section 1: Organizational Chart
What is the organizational chart for the organization? The chart should fit on one 8 x 11″ page. Depending on the size of the organization, boxes may represent “work” at the individual job level or as a grouping of jobs. If the organization is very large, you may choose to represent a division or department of the organization (as opposed to the entire organization); please specify if this is the case and provide a brief overview of where this division/department fits into the overall organizational structure.
Organizational Chart Narrative: Explain which of the four structures discussed in class (Functional, Divisional, Matrix, Network, or a combination of these) best represents your organization’s structure. Explain why that is the most efficient and effective way for your organization to get work done. Consider: Is your organization dynamic or stable? How much diversification is there in organization businesses, services, products, customers and/or locations? Who should make strategic decisions? How much does the organization rely on lower-level employees to be creative and autonomous in decision-making?
Provide any additional background information necessary to explain how the organization is structured for action. Ensure that all critical business functions (administration, finance, HR, sales, marketing, and similar), as well as service and production, are clearly represented in the organizational chart OR described in the narrative.
Section 2: The Job Description
Select one position from your organizational chart and develop a job description for that position. This position must report to a supervisor (the supervisor should NOT be the CEO) AND must be a manager, supervising a minimum of 1 employee. Include all of the recommended content of a job description.
Section 3: The Interview
Design interview questions that will help determine each candidate’s suitability for the position. The interview questions should relate directly to the needs of the organization and the requirements outlined in the job description (above). Questions should be: 1) behavioral (if asking about experience), 2) specifically related to the job (not generic) and 3) open-ended to invite discussion (vs. yes/no or one-word answers). Include a minimum of 10 questions to be asked of applicants in a structured interview. Remember, you are trying to assess whether the interviewee would be a good fit not only for the specific position, but also for the organization as a whole.
Section 4: References
Demonstrate research on the organization, content obtained in your interview, and use of course materials and outside resources, provide references in APA format.
