Chapter 17: Organization Design

  1. Pick one organization that you think would have a "Low Perceived Uncertainty" type of environment (Cell 1 in Figure 17.4) and one organization that you think would have a "High Perceived Uncertainty" type of environment (Cell 4 in Figure 17.4) and look them up on the Internet. Most companies have references and/or links to media articles about their companies and their annual reports. Read as much as you can about these two companies and the environments in which they operate.

  2. Given the information you found about the two companies, do you think your original classifications of them was accurate? What information either changed your mind or supported you original thoughts?

  3. What impact do you think the type of environment had on the way that each firm structured the company?
