V. Reading Comprehension (4×5=20)

Most of us work in organizations that are hierarchical, vertical and functionally defined. The organization chart for the typical company resembles a pyramid and provides a clear view of where everyone fits in relation to each

other and will also normally reflect reporting relationships. In essence, the conventional organization structure is little changed since the armies of the Roman Empire developed the precursor of the pyramid organization.

While there can be no doubting that this organizational model has served us

well in the past, there are now serious questions to be asked about its

appropriateness for the changed conditions that confront us today. Of the many changes that have taken place in the marketing environment, perhaps the biggest

is the focus upon “speed”. Because of shortening product life cycles, time to market becomes ever more critical. Similarly, the dramatic growth of

just-in-time( JIT) practices in manufacturing means that those companies wishing to supply into that environment have to develop systems capable of responding rapidly and flexibly to customers’ delivery requirements. Indeed, the

same is true in almost every market today as organizations seek to reduce their inventories and hence a critical requirement of a supplier is that they are capable

of rapid response.

The challenge to every business is to become a responsive organization. The organization must respond to changes in the market with products and services

that provide innovative solutions to customers’ problems; it must respond to volatile demands and it must be able to provide high levels of flexibility in delivery.

What will be the distinguishing features of the responsive organization? One

thing is certain: it will not resemble today’s functionally focused business.

the traditional organization is not ( )
