Organisational Structure of Universal Studios : Universal Pictures (sometimes called Universal City Studios or Universal Studios for short), a subsidiary of NBCUniversal, is one of the six major movie studios.
Founded in 1912 by Carl Laemmle,[1] it is one of the oldest American movie studios still in continuous production. On May 11, 2004, the controlling stake in the company was sold by Vivendi Universal to General Electric, parent of NBC [2]. The resulting media super-conglomerate was renamed NBC Universal, while Universal Studios Inc. remained the name of the production subsidiary. In addition to owning a sizable film library spanning the earliest decades of cinema to more contemporary works, it also owns a sizable collection of TV shows through its subsidiary NBC Universal Television Distribution. It also acquired rights to several prominent filmmakers' works originally released by other studios through its subsidiaries over the years.
Its production studios are at 100 Universal City Plaza Drive in Universal City, California. Distribution and other corporate offices are in New York City. Universal Pictures is the second-longest-lived Hollywood studio; Viacom-owned Paramount Pictures is the oldest by a month.

hile it is true that most organisations share common attributes as well as differ in terms of its specific and general dimensions, these similarities and differences serve as distinct features contributing to the corporate success and revenue development. Organisational structure and the controls as part of it are contributory elements of its performance (Rapert and Wren, 1998). Understanding organisational structure includes the size of organization, its life cycle stage, environmental factors, technology, power and culture and extends to the proper formulation and execution of strategy. The evaluation of effectiveness is also incorporated on the actual framework of the business as well as its operations. On this case, five (5) identified organisations were analysed based on organization theory by specifically looking on effectiveness and environment extending to size, structure, strategy, growth, technology and culture. It also identifies similarities and differences and potential explanation on such findings.
EFFECTIVENESS
Hitt and colleagues (2003) believes that there is no inherently superior strategy or structure, and there is no inherently superior strategy/structure match. However, it is noted that organisations must match strategy and structure to increase profitability of competitive success. On the case of the five (5) chosen organisations, the effectiveness of their organisational structure is reflected on their progressive business trends. This means that the characteristics of their organisational framework are positively integrated to their performance and ability to compete in their niche market. When the organization performs well, it corresponds to the appropriateness of the organisational structure. The findings in the individual report noted the strengths of the given structure however, similar challenges are minimally recognized.
