Document Summary

Functional theory: organizations are seen as rational information processing systems, distortion can be identified and eliminated. If you have a problem with organizational communication it is because the message is not well designed or not transmitted properly. Organising: sculley tried to reorganise the structure of apple. He splits into two departments, mac and apple and also replaced half of the workforce. Now all 15 have to report to him directly. Relationship: jobs and sculley formed friendship initially, as time passes it turns sour and felt that cant work together anymore and hence change. Establish relationship with workers with movie tix etc. Change: court for 4 months and ask sculley to join the organisation, message to bod to remove jobs out of the vp position. Formal (face to face talk, sculley refers to chart to communicate and send messages, sculley talks to bod in a formal manner, annual meeting is face to face etc)
