...ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF PERDUE FARMS INC. Analysis of the Organizational Structure of Perdue Farms Inc. Ashton Smith MGMT 630 1121 February 23, 2014 My reason for constructing this analysis is to measure the organizational structure of the Perdue Company by using the Marcic Dimension Scale. This scale evaluates organizations by various categories that help develop a better understanding of how complex an organization might be. The categories I have chosen to assess Perdue include specialization, technology, culture, goals, and size. These dimension factors along with others allow managers to understand exactly how a company operates. Specialization The term specialization is defined as “the degree to which organizational tasks are subdivided into separate jobs” (Daft, 2010). Perdue Farms has divided its tasks by choosing vertical integration to manage every detail. “As a vertically integrated agribusiness, the company is able to ensure quality at every step in the supply chain” (Perdue Inc., 2008). It breeds and hatches its own eggs (19 hatcheries), selects its contract growers, builds Perdue-engineered chicken houses, formulates and manufactures its own feed (12 poultry feedmills, 1 specialty feedmill, 2 ingredient blending operations), oversees the care and feeding of the chicks, operates its own processing plants (21 processing and further processing plants), distributes via its own trucking fleet, and markets the production.

...Currently, there is no central purchasing department for the string of three stores. It is the responsibility of each of the three department managers within each store to determine requirements for the items in their departments and to place purchase orders directly with suppliers (Apollo Group, Inc., 2011). The department managers are required to fill out a standard, manual purchase order form for each order as well as receive and manually verify each shipment as it comes in. To place an order, these forms must be mailed, faxed, e-mailed, or even handed to suppliers (Apollo Group, Inc., 2011). These forms then become the primary tracking and financial documents for all merchandise orders (Apollo Group, Inc., 2011). This vast amount of paperwork must be maintained and stored in the accounting department to ensure vendors are paid. Another hurdle exists in that each department manager is independently responsible for obtaining the best pricing, quality, and delivery possible (Apollo Group, Inc., 2011). Each of the department managers is encouraged to check with his or her counterparts within the other stores to see how their pricing, quality, and delivery schedules stack up (Apollo Group, Inc., 2011). From Kudler’s standpoint, this can lead to inconsistent pricing...
