Minor 3 Pt 3: Strategic and Structural Assessment
Create a managerial report that builds on your previous Strategic and Structural Assessment with a Coordination Assessment that categorizes how an organization uses Task Design, Coordination/ Control, Information Systems and Incentives (cf. Burton et al., pp. 165-207). Do your analysis from 5123_minor3.worksheet.xlsx and use the tables from 5123_design.tables.docx as needed. This is the third part of an internal organization design audit for your selected organization, which follows the pattern of the previous two, with:
Background: Revise this section from your Minor 2 paper to mention what this report covers.
Assessment: Add another 5 sub-headers that cover Burton's steps of structure, process and people, namely: Task Design, People, Leadership, Coordination/Control, and Information Systems onto your 7 previous sub-headers (you created in Minor 1 & 2). Use the appropriate Excel worksheet to score these sub-systems. Using Burton's diagnostic questions and his quadrants, offer a current assessment of these sub-systems.
Recommendations: Update the organization's current configuration (cf. Table 9.1, p. 184) to include the structure, process and people systems. Recognize fits and raise any questions about possible misfits, along with actions for consideration to improve coordination, control and information systems.

Proper functioning processes and systems are critical to the success of the organizations as even well-functioning people cannot perform in badly functioning systems.
Assessment
Coordination/Control
After designing the people-based system one of the ways to support the organization structure is to focus on coordination and control of the information systems (Burton, DeSanctis & Obel, 2011). This helps to link the various components of the organization and integration. Both decentralization and formalization are high in coordination and control, and this is in the clan or mosaic quadrant. The decentralization score was 3.8 while the formalization score was 4.2, and both components indicate that the organization values conforming to norms. According to (Burton, DeSanctis & Obel, 2011), the success of the clan depends on whether the leader can communicate the strong norms and values that highlight how work is accomplis...
