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.

This manufacturer stands out from the crowd when it comes to culture in the workplace. Very few major
manufacturers would adopt this clan and adhocracy way of operating. They treat all their employees as
equals and encourage everyone to contribute their ideas, which shows that they are a valued part of the
company, and their ideas are respected. They are all hands on deck when it comes to brainstorming and
aren’t afraid of taking risks, meaning they will try out the most unconventional ideas – like a foldable
boat. This way of operating is a great advantage for the company. When you treat your employees with
care and respect it makes them want to stay and contribute to the success of the company.



2. Discuss in detail whether the organizational structure is an advantage or disadvantage to the
company and explain why.

Operating in a decentralized/flat organizational structure is a true advantage for this company. When you
remove the traditional hierarchy and give employees more decision-making power and autonomy it
encourages trust and team building. This decentralized way of operating also encourages discussion
groups because everyone is of the same hierarchy and not just one person has the “final say”. This could
lead to many advantages along the production line as everyone has a chance to input their ideas. With
them entering a new market in India and trying to launch a brand new product, this structure will prove
beneficial.



3. Describe in detail how each of the following organizational aspects in the scenario influences how the
company makes strategic decisions:



a. organizational culture

This company is big on inclusivity and equality for all their employees. They value the opinions of their
employees greatly, meaning they will employ local fishermen to aid in the creation of this foldable boat.
Their input is highly valued as they are the direct consumer, so they can give insight when it comes to
design. This could directly contribute to the success of the product.

b. organizational structure

Because this company operates in a decentralized manner, they are more flexible about how company
decisions are made. It does not come from the top-down, but rather a collaboration from all employees.
Everyone’s voices and opinions matter, meaning all thoughts and concerns are carefully considered. This
is a major advancement in the business world and will prove to be a great advantage for them as they
enter a new market in a different country.

c. mission and vision statements
