The debate about whether strategy precedes structure (or vice versa) has been in existence for over half of a century. Perhaps this is analogous to the chicken and egg debate and may prove to be a rather futile discussion. However, consider the extent to which an organization decides its strategy from its internal capability (the resources that it has in order to achieve goals), or the extent to which it scans the external environment, then marries up the internal requirements in order to meet this. It could be argued that an internally driven organization is contingent upon structural configurations, while the externally driven organization is contingent upon strategic planning.
Argue the case for:
1. Strategy preceding structure.
2. Structure preceding strategy.
Use at least two international companies to make your points.

There are thousands of founder-based organizations in the private and not-for-profit sectors in the United States, and these organizations have been built over decades of hard work and long-term commitment. However, stubbornly holding on to business conditions that were present during an organization’s origination and first decades can threaten the organization’s future. Successful change is always the product of extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise. You are a new HR professional hired to replace a long-tenured HR director who has now been tasked with creating an organizational succession plan.

Analyze components of human capital models that align with human resource management strategy.
Evaluate how a strategic human resource perspective drives organizational success.

Organizational Assessment
This is an individual assignment. The main point is to describe and assess a social service organization. Assess the tax-exempt status, funding streams, leadership, and diversity. Apply critical knowledge of the Nonprofit Industrial Complex( see Video below for example). If the organization is lacking any of these areas, discuss why and what is needed to appropriate the funding for their success in working with the population they serve( in other words how are they funded and how is it measured if they are really using the funds appropriately).
