Chapter 11 Assignment In team, answer the following questions. Building Management Skills For this exercise you will analyze the control systems used by a real organization such as a department store, restaurant, hospital, police department, or small business. It can be the organization that you investigated in Chapter 10 or a different one. Your objective is to uncover all the different ways in which managers monitor and evaluate the performance of the organization and employees. 1. At what levels does control take place in this organization? 2. Which output performance standards (such as financial measures and organizational goals) do managers use most often to evaluate performance at each level? 3. Does the organization have a management by objectives system in place? If it does, describe it. If it does not, speculate about why not. 4. How important is behavior control in this organization? For example, how much of managers' time is spent directly supervising employees? How formalized is the organization? Do employees receive a book of rules to teach them how to perform their jobs? 5. What kind of culture does the organization have? What are the values and norms? What effect does the organizational culture have on the way employees behave or treat customers? 6. Based on this analysis, do you think there is a fit between the organization's control systems and its culture? What is the nature of this fit? How could it be improved
