Made it hard on women in the workplace, not just being a woman also people of color. Social status and religion. Women were often asked to leave their jobs if they married or became pregnant there were no accommodation for employment or disability was made. I felt there was no compassion towards woman who were single and had to raise children by their self’s. Male at that time were chauvinist. 
In 1953 the computer world, a company called IBM was one of the first to hired diverse. The president of IBM wrote letter to his managers stating, “It is the policy of this organization to hire people who have the personality, talent and background. Necessary to fill a given job, regardless of race, color or creed. “Even in the Deep South, where segregation was a reality in restaurants, hotels, and even at water fountains, IBM employees of all races and backgrounds ate together in the cafeteria.

There are chains of operations that effect the corporation; research and development, and marketing; and sales. This gives me idea to used when working as a Project Manager. The graphic that follows shows a functional structure that connects with lines which indicating reporting and authority relationships. When connecting with department heads of each functional area reports to the CEO; the CEO then coordinates and integrates the work of each function. When specializing the graphic design, it showed that it went deeper then a simple structure. When reading the module allows top-down and bottom-up communication chain between the CEO and the functional departments; and relatively tall structure. Disadvantage of having functional organization may have unhealthy competition working with the other areas. Another disadvantage of functional organization structure is that these functional groups may not be able to communicate more often which decreases flexibility and innovation.]]> 2020-02-20 00:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciacammack/r3l6rx7lpz6a/wish/447791073 Four Managerment Functions feliciacammack https://padlet.com/feliciacammack/r3l6rx7lpz6a/wish/447791112 When learning the 4 management functions they set the foundation; The first step is planning putting things to actions setting goals and writing them out.
