Explain the type of organization the assessment is based on and its primary goals.
Different areas within organizations work together to achieve organizational goals. These areas are often referred to as functional areas and typically include:
- Human Resources.
- Sales and Marketing.
- Information Technology.
- Production and Operations.
- Finance and Accounting.
Suppose leadership in the organization where you currently work (or have worked) is considering changes to organizational structure—in particular, to the functional areas it currently has. Before making any changes, the leaders have asked several managers, including you, to develop a white paper that outlines the manager’s recommendations for three functional areas that he or she believes to be essential to the success of the company.
