Based out of Sydney, Australia, Mine Site Technologies came to the U.S. market in 2010 in an attempt to grab hold of the growing U.S. market for mining safety. Although it is an international company, MST developed its North American headquarters as a separate entity, operating and functioning without influence from its other locations. This created an organizational structure is experimental and organic. Given that the United States branch is so young, the organizational structure is vital to the company’s success. It is also important because of the size of the company relies on mining economics, varying from 40 employees during its prime to five during the start up. Planning and organization are fundamental to any small business and Mine Site Technologies is not an exemption. With a company so small, an assumption on the organization structure would be vertically formed, with a small chain of command. However, Mine Site Technologies organizational structure is horizontal with a functional flow. This means that there are different departments that function equally that are divided into specialized skill sets.

...HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 1. INTRODUCTION Human resource Management is, perhaps, the oldest and most widely researched subject in management. Yet, as technologies change, cultural diversities occur and people’s expectations undergo fundamental shifts towards newer and newer dimensions. For instance, professionals are gaining more say in the running of organizations. Even where governance is by people who own the majority stakes, their own positions and the respect they command are contingent upon their competence rather than ownership. (Ahuja, 2005 880) “ Management is the art of getting things done through other people. Management is the dynamic, life-giving element in every business. Without it the resources of production remain resources and never become production.” (Sharma, 2004 11) This definition emphasizes that the managers achieve organizational objectives getting things done through the employees. Human resource Management is very essential for successful running of an enterprise. It ensures proper use of physical and human resources by deriving the best results. It leads to efficient performance and higher productivity. Human Resource Management is very essential for every organization to make productive use of human physical and financial resources or the achievement of the organizational goals. It helps in determination of objectives. No organization can succeed in tits mission...

...as possible. Activities, for example such as task allocation, coordination, and supervision directed toward the attainment of organizational aims are the elements of organizational structure. In conjunction with structure is organizational design, the plan. According to Hearst Communications, Inc. (2013), “When a company's leaders develop plans for how their company should function or would perform better, they undertake the business of organizational design. Good design takes inventory of all the tasks, functions and goals of a business, and then develops groupings and orderings of job positions; departments and individuals to best and most efficiently achieve those ends. Usually, designs are expressed through an organizational chart, which helps players throughout an organization understand functions and power relationships” As a business’s environment changes it is vital to identify, reassess, and possibly change one’s organizational structure and design. Knowing how to respond to the environment aids the company as economic, legal, political, and social circumstances change. Virgin America Airlines is expanding into China, and management realizes recommended changes in strategy may affect its current organizational structure and design.

Planning includes * defining goals * establishing strategy, and * developing plans to integrate and coordinate the required activities 2.

Management and leadership go hand in hand when it comes to individuals and organizations including financial performance. Managerial leadership is crucial to creating effective organizations with employees who push their limits. 2. What are the five key elements in our leadership definition?

When it comes to the leader-follower element, leaders and followers influence each other. This relationship leads to the next element that is influence where the leader uses power, politics, and negotiating to sway followers on their opinions. In order for a manager to be effective, they need to influence their employees by communicating ideas to gain acceptance.
