Operations Function in the Organization Structure

Operations are an important management function in an organization. The role of operations management changes as companies react to the business environment.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and valid Internet sites, search for an organizational chart of a manufacturing, service, or technology company looking specifically for one that shows a change in the operations function. Typically, such charts can be found in published annual reports of public companies.

Based on your analysis of the chart, respond to the following:

• Identify the components of the operations function in the organizational structure of the company.
• Review the annual reports over the past three years and see how the operations management function has changed.
• Examine the financial reports to understand the competitive and market challenges the organization is facing and then analyze the importance of operations in the organization.
• Explore how the organizational function has evolved to keep pace with the changing competitive and business landscape.
• If possible, identify an event that caused the organization to change the role of the operations function in the organizational structure and offer an explanation of how the new operational function is better suited to compete in the current business environment.

Address the following in your analysis:

1. What is Yahoo’s current strategic thrust? Explain how its strategy has changed over the last few years. Identify how the company has positioned itself in its sector and to support your assessment prepare a SWOT for the firm and show how its strategies have been defined by its strengths and weaknesses.

3. Prepare an industry analysis and discuss how industry forces have shaped the firm’s strategies as well as its structure and control mechanisms.
4. Evaluate and discuss Yahoo’s organizational/corporate culture. Based on your awareness of how the company operates, discuss whether the corporate structure fits the corporate culture.
