The document discusses a case study from a textbook about the reorganization at Sony by the CEO. The CEO had to adapt the company's structure, control uncertainty, and reduce environmental constructs due to changing conditions. Contingency theory was applied as the CEO shifted Sony from a mechanistic to a more organic structure to improve flexibility and adaptability. The response must be at least two pages, cite the textbook case study on Sony as source material, and include in-text citations when paraphrasing or quoting.

Read and reflect on the case study about Sony on page 119 of
the course textbook. Consider the CEO’s reorganization. What
environmental constructs were involved? Why did the CEO have
to adapt, control, and reduce uncertainty? Identify the
mechanistic versus organic structures and how contingency
theory was or was not applied in this case study.
