The Assignment:Refer back to previous posting: DREAM JOB. Previously, an organization was described that would be interesting to work for or develop. The organizational structure was described, with examples. In this next post the organization’s structure will be modified with the following three structural changes:
Modification One: New Product or Service LineViolet Tailyeaour's Reenactment Couture and Duncan's Bling and Things could expand into new product lines to include a haberdashery, cobbler, and potter. These are all necessities that the modern reenactor needs, the lines would smoothly assimilate until Violet Tailyeaour's Reenactment Couture became the go to vendor for any high-end, accurate, custom reenactor needs. Modification Two: Go GlobalGoing global would be a logical expansion for Violet Tailyeaour's Reenactor Couture. Historical reenactors are located all over the world and there is no reason not to service them all. eCommerce has made the transition to a global market much easier than it has been historically. In addition to eCommerce, there are reenactor fairs globally and merchant booths at these events could be profitable. The challenge would be any language barriers encountered, this could necessitate a local translator for each linguistic location. Modification Three: Merger or Acquisition of Non-Like Product After a couple years, and global expansion, Violet Tailyeaour's Reenactment Couture sought to purchase sewing machine sales and service stores around the country and unite them under a single name and entity of Roy and Danielle's Sewing Sales and Repair. While sewing machines can be purchased at big box stores around the country, not all brands are available and those big box stores do not offer repair or maintenance services. Growing a name that can be trusted across the nation for fair and honest sewing machine repairs and sales would be a challenge, but would likely prove more lucrative than Violet Tailyeaour's Reenactment Couture, as while still a smaller market, the general use and repair of sewing machines is much larger than the niche of high-end reenactor wares. New ORganizational StructureStructurally, Violet and Duncan would maintain control as they are the same people as Roy and Danielle, only aliases suited to the reenactor community. The cubes represent sewing machine sales and repair shops around the United States, and on the Reenactment Couture side a Cobbler/Haberdasher/Potter expansion was added, with Duncan continuing as expansional leader and Violet as the CEO/CFO. A linguist was added as additional staff for merchant booths to accommodate international expansion. BibliographyDaft, R. L. (2016). Organization Theory and Design Twelfth Edition.
