To improve the success rate of IT
projects, it is important for project
managers to develop a better
understanding of people as well as
organizations.
a)
You can try to understand organizations better by focusing on
different perspectives. Organizations can be viewed as having
four different frames: structural, human resources, political,
and symbolic.
a)
Structural
Frame
Human
Resource Frame
• Roles and
responsibilities,
coordination,
and control.
Organizational
charts help
describe this
frame.
• Providing
harmony
between needs
of the
organization
and needs of
people.
Political Frame
Symbolic Frame
• Coalitions
composed of
varied
individuals and
interest groups.
Conflict and
power are key
issues.
• Symbols and
meanings
related to
events. Culture,
language,
traditions, and
image are all
parts of this
frame.
b)
The three general classifications of organizational structures
are the functional, project, and matrix.
