Building a Smoothly Functioning Team in an Organizational Environment - A study by Artur Victoria

The development of an organization structure which can create, adapt to, and prosper with change represents a major challenge to the human resources executive and the chief executive officer. The problem is not one of developing appropriate objectives; most companies do this reasonably well, and a number of examples have been presented.

We will provide an outline of the basic framework in this section. When this is done-when the "big picture" is all laid out-we will elaborate and analyze the individual steps in the sequence. leia todo o artigo
