Solution
i am working for an Engineering college and PG college as associate professor in the department
of management studies. we have different engineering departments like ECE, EEE, Aerospace,
CSE, Mechanical and PG (MBA, MCA).
here our management follwed decentralised structure, all college is taken care by Principal. he
delegates the powers to individual department heads (Head of the Departements). they will take
care of everything about the regular activities in the department. and HODs will daily or weekly
assignments to the Faculty members.
the flow of information also from top level to bottom level and from bottom to top through
proper channels only. few or the major decisions will taken by the Directors or Pricipal, the
remaining people are there to implement the strategies of the higher authorities.
based on these aspects i can say that our organisation is having the a hybrid structure, like some
characteristics of the centralised organisation and some characteristics of decentralised
organisations.
definitely structure of an organization will effect on the perfomance organisation. few of the
organisations will perform in centralised system (like defence and security departments) and
some other are decentralised systems (MNCs) which are operating in different nations and
cultures. structure plays a vital role in the process.
