How should an organization design its structure and culture to obtain a core competence in manufacturing and in research and development? What is your reasoning?

Answer and Explanation:

core competency of an organization comprise it's multiple resource, capabilities and skills that gives it a competitive advantage in the market. It was originated in management theory by C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel.

For an organization to have core competencies in manufacturing and also research and development putting it's organizational structure and culture to use, it has to:

create a flexible and somewhat independent structure for it's research and development department such that innovation is easy. Control must be decentralized and the team must come first

For the manufacturing department, an organic and participative approach should be encouraged. This would allow inclusive management such that workers are included in decision making processes. Managers should also be given more independence while workers should increasingly be empowered

the organization should also take stringent measures in employing the right people for the research and development as well as the manufacturing department such that these individuals are qualified and possess the needed expertise for their areas. Staff should equally be empowered through constant education and new skill acquisitions and be allowed to impart this knowledge on other staff by encouraging transfers in global expansion.

i believe that it is a 45% chance.

if you use only 25 for your entertainment and only 200 for the groceries that you really need and take out the 50 per month for the computer then that should be enough
