DECISION MATRIX & ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE EXERCISE

Justification for Matrix Selections

Instructions: Below you will find each of the categories reflected in the above Decision Matrix. For each of these you will state specifically why you made the selection you did in the Decision Matrix. These rationales need to provide specific evidence from the scenario to justify your selection. For example, under Resources, if you mark “little or no monies, supplies or change in resources” you would not just state “it requires few resources and is only $150,000”. You would need to explain why $100,000, in your opinion, is not a lot of money and why few supplies or resources are needed. Or if you marked “Requires significant resources and or additional FTEs (Full Time Equivalents) you will need to state why the project will use significant resources, why the funding is substantial and/or why more personnel will be needed. Thoroughly explain and justify your selections!

Final Decision:

Instructions: Copy and paste your Business Case from Week 2 assignment. Analyze the selected project to determine which organizational structure (Section 4-1) would be the ideal or preferred organizational structure for this project. Discuss why you selected this structure and justify that choice through an analysis of the project versus the elements and definitions of the organizational structure as presented in the Kloppenborg text. Then, discuss which structure is the least preferred and explain/justify why this would not be a preferred organizational structure for your selected project providing the same depth of analysis. Provide specific examples, elements or components from the project to explain your justification. Each of the justification sections should be a minimum of 300 words.
