Description of Task

Please answer all the following questions based on Weeks 2, 3, 4 and 5 and submit your

answers through Turnitin by Friday 7 th April 5:00 pm. Note the Milestone requirements for

your working draft are required no later than Monday 27th March at 5:00pm.

Answers to each question should be around 250-300 words.

You are REQUIRED to use the textbook and relevant journal articles to support your

answers (2 to 3 references per question as well as the textbook)

1. Morgan(1997) has proposed that the way we think about organisations depends upon the

mental images or metaphors we use. Using the article on Morgan's ideas (available on

Moodle) which of these images or metaphors applies to Factory system before the

development of Scientific Management? Did it change after Taylor's ideas were adopted?

(Please have a look at the article on Morgan's Metaphors on Moodle AND chapter 3: The

rise of the factory system to support your answer)

2. Rational-bureaucratic organizations are supposed to develop the best means to

achieve their goals. Based on your reading of Chapter 5 (pg. 56), what would you

say are some of the obstacles to making the "best" decisions about ways to reach a

goal or solve a problem? Do some organizations have a more difficult time with this

than others? What kinds of goals or problems do they deal with? (Please have a

look at chapter 5: Bureaucracy, Rationalisation and Organisation theory to

support your answer)

3. Do you think the term used by Barnard -- "common moral purpose" (pg. 103) -- is a

good way to describe what happens in work organizations? Why or why not?

(Please have a look at chapter 4: The Human Organisation to support your answer)

4. The transformation of organizational forms has given rise to a variety of paradoxical

demands. For example, organizations want to achieve both economies of scale and

economies of scope; they want to specialize yet be flexible. What do each of these

separate demands mean for organizing and managing? Why they all are desired?

How can they peacefully co-exist? (Please have a look at Chapter 6 from page 121

onwards: Emerging Organisational Forms: Beyond Fordism to support your

answer)
