MGT 510 SEU Saudi Telecom Company Strategy Alignment Paper

Description

I’m working on a management question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

our focus is on capability development and organizational structure as they apply to strategy implementation. For this critical thinking assignment, read Chapter 6, “Organizational Structure and Management Systems: The Fundamentals of Strategy Implementation” and evaluate a KSA company and their processes of strategy execution.

  1. How does the strategy developed in the strategic planning processes translate into action for this company? Consider the role of capital expenditure budgets, operating plans, and performance management systems.
  2. What role do resources, processes, motivation, play in strategy execution in this company and what stands in the way?
  3. How does this company’s structure and management system promote the effective implementation of the company’s strategy?
  4. What specific organizational capability should the company develop to support implementation?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
  • Use APA style guidelines.
  • Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.
  • It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the Turnitin Originality Check before submitting it to your instructor for grading.

  • Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.

Abstract
The abstract should be one paragraph of between 150 and 250 words. It is not indented. Section
titles, such as the word Abstract above, are not considered headings so they don’t use bold
heading format. Instead, use the Section Title style. This style automatically starts your section
on a new page, so you don’t have to add page breaks. (To see your document with pagination, on
the View tab, click Reading View.) Note that all text styles for this template are available on the
Home tab of the ribbon, in the Styles gallery.
Add keywords here. To replace this (or any) tip text with your own, just select it and
then start typing. Don’t include space to the right or left of the characters in your selection.
3
Add Title Here, up to 12 Words, on One to Two Lines
The body of your paper uses a half-inch first line indent and is double-spaced. APA style
provides for up to five heading levels, shown in the paragraphs that follow. Note that the word
Introduction should not be used as an initial heading, as it’s assumed that your paper begins with
an introduction.
Heading 1
The first two heading levels get their own paragraph, as shown here. Headings 3, 4, and 5
are run-in headings used at the beginning of the paragraph.
Heading 21
For APA formatting requirements, it’s easy to just type your own footnote references and
notes. To format a footnote reference, select the number and then, on the Home tab, in the Styles
gallery, click Footnote Reference.
Heading 3.
Include a period at the end of a run-in heading. Note that you can include consecutive
paragraphs with their own headings, where appropriate.
Heading 4.
When using headings, don’t skip levels. If you need a heading 3, 4, or 5 with no text
following it before the next heading, just add a period at the end of the heading and then start a
new paragraph for the subheading and its text. (Last Name, Year)
Heading 5.
Like all sections of your paper, references start on their own page, as you see on the page
that follows. Just type in-text citations as you do any text of your paper, as shown at the end of
this paragraph and the preceding paragraph. (Last Name, Year)

To see this document with all layout and formatting, such as hanging indents, on the
View tab of the ribbon, click Reading View.

References
Last Name, F. M. (Year). Article Title. Journal Title, Pages From – To.
Last Name, F. M. (Year). Book Title. City Name: Publisher Name

Footnotes
1
Add footnotes, if any, on their own page following references. The body of a footnote,
such as this example, uses the Normal text style. (Note: If you delete this sample footnote, don’t
forget to delete its in-text reference as well. That’s at the end of the sample Heading 2 paragraph
on the first page of body content in this template.)

Note: Place all tables for your paper in a tables section, following references (and, if applicable,
footnotes). Start a new page for each table, include a table number and table title for each, as
shown on this page. All explanatory text appears in a table note that follows the table, such as
this one. Use the Table/Figure style, available on the Home tab, in the Styles gallery, to get the
spacing between table and note. Tables in APA format can use single or 1.5-line spacing. Include
a heading for every row and column, even if the content seems obvious. A table style has been
setup for this template that fits APA guidelines. To insert a table, on the Insert tab, click Table.

Figures
Figure 1. Include all figures in their own section, following references (and footnotes and tables,
if applicable). Include a numbered caption for each figure. Use the Table/Figure style for easy
spacing between figure and caption.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ORGANIZING
Basic Tasks of Organizing:
Cooperation and Coordination
High productivity requires specialization
The efforts of specialized individuals need to be integrated.
This creates two problems:
The need for cooperation
The need for coordination
–The Agency Problem:
Employees’ goals ≠ Owners’ goals
–Managing interdependency
Organizational solutions:
•
•
•
•
Control through hierarchical supervision
Performance incentives to align
individual and firm goals
Shared values to create common
purpose
Persuasion
Organizational solutions:
•
Rules and directives
•
Organizational routines
•
Mutual adjustment
ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ORGANIZING
Emergence of the Modern Corporation
Key drivers:
1) Technological and economic developments
•
Developments in transportation (e.g. railroads) enabled firms to serve wider
markets
•
Developments in communication (e.g. telegraph, telephone) allowed firms to
organize across a wider geographical area.
2) Legal developments
•
The corporation as a legal entity
•
Limited liability.
3) Organizational innovations
•
Line and staff structure—the creation of corporate headquarters that
administered multiple operating units
•
The holding company—financial group of companies linked by parentsubsidiary relationships
•
The multidivisional structure—integrated companies with corporate
headquarters responsible for financial and strategic control and divisions
operating the individual businesses.

Recent Trends in Organizational Design
• Limited evidence of a “revolution in organizational design”—basic
features of organizations (e.g. hierarchy, financial control
mechanisms, strategic planning) are still present
Major trends of past two decades:
• Delayering—organizational hierarchies becoming flatter
• Adhocracy and team-based organization—emphasis shared
values, high participation, flexible roles and communication, lack
of authority
• Project-based organizations—dynamic structures with timelimited project teams
• Network structures—organizations and groups of organizations
where coordination based upon informal social linkages
