Organising

Easy

ABC Corporation is a multinational company that manufactures and sells consumer electronics. To ensure smooth operations, it follows a well-defined organizing process, which includes identifying tasks, grouping similar activities, assigning responsibilities, and establishing reporting relationships.

The company follows a structure where employees are grouped based on their expertise. Departments like Marketing, Finance, Production, and Human Resources operate independently, ensuring specialization and efficiency. However, in its international operations, ABC Corporation adopts a structure where each division operates as a separate entity based on regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia. This helps the company cater to regional market needs effectively.

Within the company, two types of organization exist. One organization is structured with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and hierarchy. On the other hand, the other organization consists of unofficial relationships among employees, such as friendships and personal networks, which enhance teamwork and communication beyond the official chain of command.

To ensure smooth delegation of tasks, authority and responsibility are transferred to subordinates. It empowers employees, reduces the workload of senior managers, and enhances decision-making efficiency.

Through a combination of well-structured organizational processes and flexible informal interactions, ABC Corporation maintains operational efficiency while fostering a collaborative work environment.

How does ABC Corporation organize its international operations?

Way to go, Wipro!

It's not quite there yet, but the goal is certainly within reach. One of India's largest IT solutions providers, Wipro Technologies, is taking on the likes of IBM and Accenture in its effort to be included among the largest and most successful technology services companies in the world. Restructuring Wipro was considered the most important step in becoming a global giant, driven by the goal towards improved customer orientation. During the past few months, Wipro separated itself into several subsidiaries by product line: telecommunications, engineering, financial services, etc. Each subsidiary brings in about $300 million in annual earnings and is self-sufficient with their own accounting books, personnel and administrative functions. Wipro shifted from a centralised to decentralised management system. All responsibilities for growth lay with the management of each entity. "We tried to de-layer the organisation and empower our business leaders with a much higher degree of growth responsibility," said Premji. "We removed an entire layer [of executives]."
