The manufacturing head Linda Ignacio believes organizational charts and position descriptions are necessary to run her department effectively, while the company president Johnny Ramos disagrees. There is a conflict between their views on organizational structure. Three alternative courses of action are proposed: 1) Empower the company through an effective organizational structure, 2) Introduce the importance of organizational structure to the president and comptroller, and 3) Organize a seminar to help realize the value of organizational structure. A decision matrix analysis indicates the first action would be most effective at establishing structure, assisting understanding, and creating responsibility within the company.

Background of the study
“I do not believe in organization charts or position descriptions of any kind in this
company,” declared Johnny Ramos, president and founder of the Power Company, manufacturer of men’s ready-to-wear (RTW) suits and jackets. “We are a successful and fast- rising company where I want all managers and labor to work as a team. Organization charts and job descriptions make people believe they own a position on a chart and want to keep it. We grew from a small company with P100,000 annual sales to a P5 million enterprise because we pooled our resources, coming up with competitive products at low costs. We are not San Miguel Corporation with its complex organization charts.”
Mr. Silang, the company comptroller, strongly defended the president, emphasizing that teamwork, not organization charts, is the key to success.
Linda Ignacio, head of manufacturing, believed otherwise and declared the president’s view “absurd and unprogressive.” Ms. Ignacio said, “I could not run my department without organization charts and position descriptions. As a matter of fact, I have them hidden in my desk where Johnny Ramos never sees them!”
