Name: Fatima Humayun
Reg No. 46360

1. Jordan Cohen established a network organization at Pfizer to assist employees in being


more productive and effective. It's a type of multidivisional organization structure in
which Pfizer assists his managers in focusing on knowledge work and vital aspects of
their jobs by outsourcing duties that aren't related to the company's core capabilities to
another organization. This technique saved time for employees; for example, when he
assigned a complex project to the Indian team to explore strategic activities that
succeeded when integrating corporate sites, the team completed the report in a month,
which would have taken six months to complete.

2. Pfizer employs a method known as the Office of the Future (OOF), which entails creating
a new concept of future office in which they can connect all of their offices across the
world and share information with other employees from other locations. Pfizer made a
wise option, and its organizational structure adheres to the six organizational design
elements as well. There are six organizational design elements, as we all know. Work
specialization, for starters, refers to the division of work activities into distinct job
responsibilities. Pfizer's new organizational structure divides their job into distinct parts
and minimizes the work burden of its employees by specialization, rather than having one
person do everything. For various specializations, the second factor is
departmentalization. Pfizer made it easier by grouping specialists into divisions under the
supervision of a manager. Job function, product, client, geographic location, and
procedure are frequently used to structure these divisions. Pfizer's new organizational
structure also divides departments into various geographic areas.

3. Yes, I believe many companies can benefit from it because all organizations use
strategies to be more efficient, such as support work, which is a necessary part of every
business, and these tasks take up a lot of time, resulting in higher productivity and the
ability to focus more on strategy, innovation, networking, collaborating, and critical
thinking. However, this arrangement would only work for large organizations such as
banks and call centers that use specialized tools such as excel support, whereas
organizational structure refers to the way in which work and people are organized within
an organization to perform the organization's various activities and achieve the
organization's goals. The goals of an organization are determined by the organizational
structure, which demonstrates the company's purpose and function. As a result, it
demonstrates how an organization's clear set of goals improves the effectiveness of the
organization's work. The main goal of an organization's structure is to reduce the time
spent on various operations while also lowering various non-essential costs, hence
increasing the organization's effectiveness. Long-term use of organizational structure can
lower the cost of various tasks while simultaneously increasing employee experience,
allowing firms to perform more effectively and efficiently.
