BUSI522 Week 1 Discussion 1

A handful of companies on the Fortune 500 list are more than 100 years old, which is rare. Research and discuss one of those organizations.

1). What organizational characteristics do you think explain 100 years of longevity?

2). What are the primary differences between an organic and a mechanistic organization design? Which design is your researched company and how did you determine that?

3). Early management theorists believed that organizations should strive to be logical and rational, with a place for everything and everything in its place.  Discuss the pros and cons of this approach and any application to your researched organization.
