Draw an organization chart for your school of business. Be sure to identify all the staff and line positions in the school. Specify the chain of command and the levels of administration. Note the different spans of control. Are there any advisory groups, task forces, or committees to consider? Review the chapter material on organization structure to help identify both strong and weak points in your school’s organization. Now draw another organization chart for the school, incorporating any changes you believe would improve the quality of the school. Support the second chart with a list of recommended changes and reasons for their inclusion.
1. Is your business school well organized? Why or why not?
2. In what ways is the school’s structure designed to suit the needs of students, faculty, staff, the administration, and the business community?
