Activity 01
Introduction of META
Meta Platforms, Inc., doing business as Meta, and formerly named Facebook, Inc., and The
Facebook, Inc., is an American multinational technology conglomerate based in Menlo
Park, California. The company owns and operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and
WhatsApp, among other products and services. Meta is one of the world's most valuable
companies and among the ten largest publicly traded corporations in the United States. It
is considered one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside
Google's parent company Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. In addition to
Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp, Meta has also acquired Oculus (which it has
integrated into Reality Labs), Mapillary, CTRL-Labs, and a 9.99% stake in Jio Platforms;
the company additionally endeavored into non-VR hardware, such as the discontinued
Meta Portal smart displays line and presently partners with Luxottica through the Ray-Ban
Stories series of smart glasses. Despite endeavors into hardware, the company still relies
on advertising for a vast majority of its revenue, which in 2022 made up 97.5 percent of its
revenue. On October 28, 2021, the parent company of Facebook changed its name from
Facebook, Inc., to Meta Platforms, Inc., to "reflect its focus on building the metaverse”.
According to Meta, the term "metaverse" refers to the integrated environment that links all
of the company's products and services. (thedrum, n.d.)
Introduction to organizational structure

Organizational structure refers to the way in which an organization is designed and
arranged in order to achieve its goals and objectives. It defines the hierarchy, roles,
responsibilities, and relationships within an organization, providing a framework for how
tasks are organized and coordinated.
Organizational structure includes:
 Hierarchy: This is the arrangement of individuals and positions in a hierarchical

order, from top management to lower-level employees. It establishes the chain of
command and the reporting relationships within the organization.
 Roles and Responsibilities: Organizational structure outlines the specific roles and
responsibilities of each position in the company. This helps employees understand
their job functions and how they contribute to the overall success of the
BPS Pearson
lOMoARcPSD|28783418

organization.
 Departments and Divisions: Organizations often group similar functions or tasks
into departments or divisions. This grouping is based on the nature of the work and
helps in specialization and efficient resource allocation.
 Communication Channels: The structure determines how information flows
within the organization. Clear communication channels are essential for efficient
decision-making and coordination of activities.
 Centralization vs. Decentralization: Organizational structure also defines the
degree of centralization or decentralization in decision-making. In a centralized
structure, decisions are made at the top levels of the organization, while
decentralized structures allow decision-making authority to be distributed across
different levels.
 Formalization: This refers to the extent to which rules, procedures, and processes
are formalized within the organization. High formalization means there are clear
rules and procedures, while low formalization implies more flexibility.
Organizational structure for META

Meta's organizational structure is a hybrid model that combines elements of a matrix
structure with functional and product-based structures. This hybrid approach allows Meta
to balance flexibility and innovation with the need for coordination and efficiency.
 Key Characteristics of Meta's Organizational Structure:

 Matrix Structure: Meta's matrix structure facilitates cross-functional
collaboration by breaking down silos and encouraging communication
between teams. This structure is particularly effective for Meta's product
development process, where engineers, designers, and product managers
work together to create new features and products.
 Functional Structure: Meta maintains a functional structure for its core
departments, such as engineering, marketing, and finance. This structure
provides expertise and specialization within each department, ensuring that
critical functions are managed effectively.
 Product-Based Structure: Meta also has a product-based structure, with
dedicated teams responsible for developing and managing specific products
and services, such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. This structure
BPS Pearson
lOMoARcPSD|28783418

allows for focused attention on individual products and the ability to tailor
strategies to each product's unique needs.
 Benefits of Meta's Hybrid Organizational Structure:
 Flexibility and Innovation: The matrix structure and product-based
structure foster creativity and innovation by allowing teams to work
autonomously and adapt to changing market conditions.
 Coordination and Efficiency: The functional structure provides a
foundation of expertise and coordination, ensuring that core functions are
managed effectively and consistently across different products and
initiatives.
 Alignment with Strategic Goals: The hybrid structure aligns with Meta's
strategic goals of building a connected and metaverse-centric future. The
product-based structure allows for focused development of key products,
while the matrix structure facilitates collaboration across teams to bring
these products together.
 Challenges of Meta's Hybrid Organizational Structure:
 Complexity and Communication: The hybrid structure can introduce
complexity and potential communication challenges, as teams may need to
coordinate with multiple functional and product-based groups.
 Decision-Making: The matrix structure can also lead to decision-making
delays, as multiple stakeholders may need to weigh in on critical decisions.
 Balance of Autonomy and Control: Meta needs to strike a delicate balance
between providing autonomy to product-based teams and maintaining
control over strategic direction and resource allocation.
Overall, Meta's hybrid organizational structure reflects the company's dynamic and
complex business environment. The structure provides a balance between flexibility and
innovation, coordination and efficiency, and alignment with strategic goals. However, Meta
must carefully manage the potential challenges of complexity, communication, and
decision-making to ensure that its organizational structure continues to support its growth
and success.

Business process
A business process is a series of interrelated tasks or activities that are performed to achieve
a specific business goal. These processes are designed to take inputs, which can be
materials, information, or actions, and transform them into outputs that deliver value to
customers or contribute to the overall objectives of the organization.
Business process in META

Business processes are the essential steps and activities that a company takes to deliver
goods or services to its customers. They are the backbone of any organization, as they
define how work is done and how value is created. In the context of Meta, business
processes play a essential role in ensuring the smooth operation of its various platforms and
services, from advertising to user experience.
Meta's business processes can be broadly categorized into three main areas:
 Product Development: These processes involve the creation, testing, and launch
of new products and features for Meta's platforms. They encompass activities such
as ideation, research, design, development, and deployment.
 User Engagement: These processes focus on enhancing user engagement and
satisfaction with Meta's products and services. They include activities such as
content moderation, community management, and customer support.
 Advertising and Monetization: These processes generate revenue for Meta
through advertising and other monetization strategies. They involve activities such
as ad placement, targeting, and optimization.
Meta's business processes are constantly evolving to adapt to changing market

conditions, technological advancements, and user preferences. The company utilizes
various tools and techniques to manage and optimize its business processes, including:
 Business Process Modeling (BPMN): This is a standardized notation for

representing and documenting business processes in a clear and consistent manner.
BPS Pearson
lOMoARcPSD|28783418

 Process Automation: Automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks can

improve efficiency, reduce errors, and free up employees to focus on more strategic
work.
 Process Analytics: Analyzing process data can identify bottlenecks, areas for
improvement, and opportunities for innovation.
 Continuous Improvement: Meta embraces a culture of continuous improvement,
regularly reviewing and refining its business processes to ensure they remain
effective and aligned with its strategic goals.
By effectively managing and optimizing its business processes, Meta can enhance its
operational efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and drive sustainable growth.
Data and information

Data refers to raw, unorganized facts or figures that have not yet been processed or
interpreted. It is the basic material from which information is derived. For instance, the
number "10" or a list of names are examples of data.
Information, on the other hand, is processed, organized, and structured data that has been
interpreted and given meaning. It is the result of analyzing and processing data to extract
meaningful insights. For example, the statement "The average lifespan of a human is 79
years" is information derived from data about human lifespans.
Data
Data is the raw, unorganized material that forms the basis of information. It consists of
individual facts, figures, or symbols that have not yet been processed or interpreted. Data
can be quantitative or qualitative, representing numerical values or descriptive
characteristics.

Use of Data and information for supporting business process

Data and information play a vital role in supporting various business processes. By
effectively utilizing data and information, organizations can enhance their decision-making
capabilities, improve operational efficiency, and optimize outcomes.
Data refers to raw, unorganized facts and figures collected from various sources, such as
transactions, customer interactions, and external data feeds. It represents the building
blocks of information, but in its raw form, it lacks context and meaning.
BPS Pearson
lOMoARcPSD|28783418

Information emerges from processing, organizing, and analyzing data, transforming it into
meaningful and actionable insights. It provides context and understanding to data, enabling
businesses to derive valuable knowledge.
The effective use of data and information in business processes is essential for several
reasons:
 Decision-making: Data and information can be used to make informed decisions

at all levels of the organization. For example, businesses can use data to identify
new market opportunities, develop new products and services, and improve
customer satisfaction.
 Process optimization: Data and information can be used to identify bottlenecks,
eliminate inefficiencies, and streamline business processes. For example,
businesses can use data to track the flow of goods and services through their supply
chains, identify areas where there are delays or waste, and make changes to their
processes to improve efficiency.
