David Boddy, Management: An Introduction, 4 th Edition © Pearson Education Limited 2008 Slide Activity Consider your own organization, or one you know well or, if the organization is large, a particular section of it. Do any of the five proposed consequences of structural deficiencies listed apply to the prevailing situation? If the answer is yes to any of the points, what does this imply for the way the organization is structured? What changes could be made? Justify your conclusions with reference to the discussions of different structural forms.
