, A. Analyze the internal organizational aspects of the company from the scenario by doing the
following:
1. Discuss in detail whether the organizational culture is an advantage or disadvantage to the
company and explain why.
I think that the adhocracy culture the company has is an advantage to the company. The
reason why I believe it is an advantage is because it allows employees to truly feel valued with
their opinions and expertise when it comes to making decisions; as well as allows creativity,
development, and innovation when it comes to collaborating and developing products.
2. Discuss in detail whether the organizational structure is an advantage or disadvantage to the
company and explain why.
I think the decentralized structure is an advantage for this company. This is because
employees are allowed to have greater collaboration and sharing of information between
them. It also empowers employees to have a greater feeling of responsibility when
completing their tasks because they have the power and autonomy to develop their ideas and
make decisions.
3. Describe in detail how each of the following organizational aspects in the scenario influences
how the company makes strategic decisions:
a. organizational culture
Organizational culture influences how the company makes strategic decisions because it
lets employees have the autonomy to be able to make decisions based on their expertise.
It also has a less strict process to follow, which encourages quick and knowledgeable
decision making.
b. organizational structure
Organizational structure influences how the company makes strategic decisions because
everyone (employees, supervisors, executives and owners) is viewed the same when it
comes to making decisions; also eliminating the need for a chain of command. It also
encourages everyone to communicate openly to promote building of relationships and
decisions making.
c. mission and vision statements.
The company’s mission and vision statements have the company focusing on its decisions
when it comes to product development, fostering growth within the company and fishing
industry by incorporating suggestions it receives, and helps make sure the company always
aligns its overall objectives and goals.
d. ethical statement
The company’s ethical statement will not only hold the company accountable, but also
allows it to focus its efforts on decision making on environmentally friendly and sustainable
sources and resources.
B. Discuss innovations to the company's product from the scenario by doing the following:
1. Describe two specific characteristics of the emerging market in the scenario.
