Businesses work hard at being nimble and adapting to changes in the economy and their specific market. Often times this means that they are changing their organizational structure or their management style to keep up. Some economic developers provide direct assistance to companies helping them with management, and organizational structures. Organizational trend information can be used to benefit existing companies and give insights to industry prospects possibly locating in a community as well. For example,
- Help an existing business that may have problems keeping up with changed in their environ-ment,
- See if a company they are recruiting is stable or likely to change and not create as many jobs as originally anticipated, and
- Understand why a company may not choose to expand.
These sources will help keep you apprised of the latest trends and research in company organizational structure/management. Decision Support, Ian Cameron & Steven L. Duckworth, Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University, (p) (412) 268-2000, www.cmu.edu
