Determine how best to design their organizational structure
You are a management consultant who specializes in helping companies determine how best to design their organizational structure and, as such, you have been hired to evaluate eBay’s current structure and make a recommendation as to which structural design will be most appropriate now and in the future as changes in the external environment affect the online-auction market. Your recommendation should discuss the changes that e-Bay’s management has already made to the original functional structure, as well as your recommendation on
how it should structure itself to accommodate international expansion, along with the effect international expansion is likely to have on the three existing functional units (finance, human resources, and legal) which currently exist alongside the three divisional units. Please write the case as if you were a consultant – i.e. – no quotes or
citations, make recommendations, use your expertise to build a case and convince your client as to which strategy should be followed and why. Double spaced, up to 500 words. Be as specific as possible – use examples and support your positions.
