Innovative and Strategic Thinking – D081 – Task 1

A1. The scenario about the fishing boat manufacturer describes a company that implements
both “Clan” and “Adhocracy” in their company culture. Clan, due to their collaborative and
open-minded approaches, and Adhocratic for the desire to create and innovate in the fishing
industry.
This company has implemented an innovative culture that considers employees and
managers equal partners, fostering growth and evolution by utilizing and applying
employee’s ideas and inviting innovators from other industries to improve designs. This
organizational culture gives this company an advantage as it does not limit innovation and
evolution when creating new products.
Some of the advantages that this fishing boat production company has, according to its
organizational structure based on adhocracy, include:
- Encourages the professional development of workers due to the level of autonomy they
offer.
- It allows innovation and development by creative people collaborating to develop
products, as is the case of the new fishing boats, which they want to develop with
recycled plastic.
- These companies create a very dynamic organizational model and make it possible to
solve complex problems, such as developing an environmentally friendly waterproof
layer of coating for this environmentally friendly boats.


A2. “The organizational structure is a system used to define a hierarchy within an
organization” (Friend 2019). This structure will determine the functions and responsibilities
that each employee must fulfill to achieve the proposed objectives are distributed.
In this scenario, we see that the organizational structure of this company represents a
“horizontal” and “decentralized” structure. In this structure, there are few levels of authority,
so people who occupy the highest levels of authority come into direct contact with all
frontline workers. This organizational system has an advantage for the company since it
gives power and autonomy to employees to develop their ideas and make decisions. This
helps and empowers team members feel greater responsibility when carrying out their

, activities.
