Every organization faces a different reality in the marketplace depending on its products, customers, technologies, government influences, and so on. There are essential forces that affect organizations within the context of their business operations and performance along with key changes that occur in the general business setting. These comprise forces located at the outer surface of organizations and come from the external environment, plus forces contained by the organization itself or the internal environment (Mukherji and Mukherji, 1998). To be successful, the organizations need to perform certain activities very well. The environment where the organization operates is an important factor in its success. The external environment is an important factor that affects a company’s goals, objectives, strategies and performance. It is also important in the setting of company missions and corporate culture (Deal and Kennedy, 2000). The internal analysis provides an objective understanding of the controllable factors in the organization’s internal environment, identifying those with the greatest long-term impact on the organization’s position. The objective of this analysis is to identify the organization’s major strengths and weaknesses with respect to its overall mission.
According to Duncan (1979), structure is a pattern of interconnections, interactions, and coordination that links the technology, tasks and human components to ensure that the organization accomplishes its purpose. Duncan categorizes a business structure in terms of two general types: functional and decentralized. Most businesses are one of these two or some mixtures of the two. The functional business structure is divided into departments and groups according to the function they perform, while the decentralized organization makes products or geographical divisions independent.
