Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions Case Study
After reviewing over the case study of the Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions, I am not in agreement with the decision that was put forth by the board of directors. The decision of the board of directors was put into action solely on the increase services they were providing to the people who suffered from 9/11. I believe this decision not be a sufficient reason to increase the budget and ask for more grant money for the next physical year. The decision that I would have made in this case would have been to continue to run the program as before and increases the funds, budgets grants as needed. Mary's decision to expand the structure of the company was based on how much the organization had grown over a period, and the local government giving them the opportunity to treat the victims of 9/11. However, I do not believe the decision was the best at the time.
The grant that they received for those who suffered from the terrorist attack on September 11 was only to meet the needs, treated and the services the victims would need at the time, not to expand the organization. Because only a few organizations specialized in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at the time, the grant provided to them by the city allowed Magnolia Therapeutic Solutions to aid in the helping the individuals suffering from PTSD. I believe this lead Mary to believe this would be an ongoing service she would be able to provide. However, Mary did not take into consideration of how the economy would be affected by the terrorist attack. The effect of organizational infrastructure had an effect on my decision because before Mary decided to include the grant they received in 2001 in the budget for 2002 the company seemed to be achieving their goals they intended to accomplish. The culture had no effect on my decision.
Magnolia suffered a great deal and
