Organisational structures and how they are
                              Managed!!









Above shown is a classic example of what i learnt through out this week, as the picture showing a man pyramid not only reflects to an example of an organisational structure but also shows the importance of group work. As even if one man losses his balance the whole group will collapse. More importantly for a basic organisation to be formed, the first step is for there to be a group of people working together to achieve a goal or objective. That is exactly what we did this week.

We were given a group presentation we had to choose a firm of our choice, identify the management of the organisation is structured, figure how they add value to there products e.t.c.Me and my group chose Samsung as the organisation, we found out that Samsung being a multinational organization operates with a fairly autocratic leadership style as the main decision and orders are made by the chairman, who is the figure head of the organisation. Where as orders when passed down the hierarchical structure and given to the functional workers, are to be carried out with somewhat authority given to the workers to do their jobs. Secondly value addition being a key objective of every business, is carried out very carefully and strategically by Samsung, they do this by focusing on a very vast target market, as they aim there product in on all genders, age groups e.t.c, giving them a higher chance of adding value.Samsung also spends a lot of finances and effort on its promotional activities and advertising, for example to focus on a niche part of there target market such as the teen agers,they would market there product for instance the galaxy s4 by using a famous celebrity to use it in an appropriate movie.There fore our presentation explained all these aspects along with a few difficulties they may be facing due to such a managerial structure and a few improvements we thought they can make.

Working on this presentation as a group enabled us to cover a very wide view about what this organisation was dealing with and how it was operating. We were able to make the presentation much quicker and better, which i do not think any one of us would have been able to do by our self.

What i used to think an organisation was before working on this presentation was something like this;

Where as now i understand that it actually is something more similar to this ;

Therefore i would say that while working in this group i actually felt that i was part of a small organisation. Something i could have never experienced back at home.
