The increase in governmental regulations and in special interest groups and the changing aspirations and expectations of employees suggest a future need for different ways of accomplishing organizational objectives. In the years ahead, the tried and true maxims about organizations will change. Many, organizations have already developed group chief executive offices. Often, one man can no longer oversee the operation of very complex structures. The nature of the marketplace and the development of knowledgeable workers have changed the definition of functional positions. The sales manager of today has a much different job than the sales manager of 10 years ago. Thus, the need for well-trained specialists who can use a process approach to organization planning continues to grow.
The organization specialist will perform several functions within the organization, but service to the operating manager will be paramount. Services provided in all areas of the planning process (structural analysis, power analysis, job definition, and staffing) will fall into at least three areas: advice, innovation, and research.
The operating manager must implement changes. The role of the specialist will be to suggest needed changes based on analysis, aid in the development of implementation procedures, and evaluate the effectiveness of procedures. One study points out that the successful organization executive does not deal in ivory tower visions of organizational life but gives realistic advice useful to the practicing manager.
