Answer to Question #155662 in Management for Prabhdeep

Question

Write a short note on structural and infrastructural analysis?(Please Answer in 100 to 150 Words )

Answer 1

Structural decisions define the shape of the building blocks linked to a certain operation. They are directly connected to the tangible aspects of a project such as vertical integration, process technology for manufacturing, and facilities like location, capacity, and variety of product manufacturing.

Infrastructural decisions on the other hand affect organizational culture, workforce, leadership, control systems, and quality management.

Organizations should not focus on one of the aspects at the cost of the other. While structural decisions require significant long term financial investments, infrastructural decisions’ cumulative effects can seriously affect their overall strategy.

An organization’s control systems, workforce, and management practices are considered to be the most essential infrastructural decisions.
