Imagine you are an internal organizational consultant for your company. You have been asked to write an organizational analysis report in which you:

• Research and      present findings related to the current culture of the organization.
• Provide      strategies to address future challenges.

Write a 5-6 page report (not including references and appendices) in which you include the following sections: 

Introduction

• Briefly explain the context and rationale for your research.

Literature Review

• Research the      future of organization theory as posited by organizational theorists      and/or experts, particularly any elements that might be of particular      concern to your organization. Select ideas from the list below or chose      your own:
• Organizational structure      types (hierarchical, flat, etc.)
• Organizational      culture
• Competition      and/or efficiency
• Work from Home      (WFH) benefits and challenges. What impact will WFH policies have on      organizational structure and trust?
• Select and compare three organizational theories.      How are they similar? How do they differ? How might these theories impact      your recommendations regarding organizational design and how future      organizational structures should be developed?

Organizational Challenge (Research Problem)

• Describe your      organization’s current culture and structure.
• Assess 3-4      external forces (local, national, global) that have or will have a      concerning impact on the organization. Provide rationale for each. Consider      the following forces or choose one of your own:
• COVID-19
• Technological      developments
• Legislation
• Evolving      workforce
• Societal trends
• Remote work/work      from home

Internal Research and Data Analysis

• Use your data      analysis from the Week 7 assignment to illustrate the connections between      the themes or trends in the data and the organizational challenges you      identified, as well as your review of the literature.

Conclusions and Recommendations

• Recommend 2-3 specific actions your organization should take based on your research      and analysis.
• Be sure to explain      how your literature review and interpretation of subject matter experts      connect to your recommendations.
