4. ACME’S Effectiveness in contrast to
OMEGA
 Retention of basic structure causes minimal resistance to the
change among employees
 More organised structure of Acme makes decision-making
faster
 Acme’s structure efficient for high volume manufacturing
 Domain-specific employees resulting in greater net profits

5. Factors that might change ACME’S
Effectiveness
 In case of unprecedented situations
 In case of unavailability of a specialist

6. Response to the New Order
 Acme’s Response
 President himself sets the deadlines for the sub-ordinates
 No information/feedback from workers
 Time constraint + disjoint work practice is a bottleneck for smooth integration
 Omega’s Response
 President with the management team sets the deadline
 feedback/suggestions flow across various teams
 Collaborative team work catalyses the prototype development
