going to create one of the most important communication documents used in business: a
memo. Even though we rely heavily on emails for business communication, when dealing
with more formal situations (communicating with a potential client or upper management)

and informative. Naturally, for this assignment your challenge will be to create the

been asked to give a presentation for a management class at his alma mater on
organizational/structural theories.Naturally, he wants to come across as an expert but, he
doesn’t want to spend the time to do the research. As the person he depends on to make
him look good, he comes to you for help in preparing his presentation. Write a professional
memo to help prepare him (hint: You’ve worked for him for 10 years and no one has ever
called him anything besides “Mr. Harris”). Make sure to at least:Research and describe how
the scholarly literature describes the functional and divisional approaches to
structureSelect an organizational structure (see exhibit 10.3 in your book to get a start) and
explain how the structure is designed to work by providing an example or scenario (make

reflected in the chosen theory. What types of companies might choose it? Once chosen, how
might the company’s culture be affected?Use at least four (4) scholarly or professional
sources to support your position in addition to the sources provided in this learning
