On page 24 of the text, Henry Mintzburg’s five parts of an organization are illustrated in Exhibit 1.6A and in Exhibit 1.6B, these are broken out into their components. Choose a company and analyze it using these five parts, and three of the components that best describe your organization. How do these components contribute to your organization’s success (or weakness)? If your organization had to give up one of these five parts, which one could it survive the longest without and why?
