Question

As firms simultaneously downsize and face the need for increased coordination across organizational boundaries, a control system based primarily on ______________ is dysfunctional.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is boundaries and constraints.

Explanation:

One of the proposals offered by The Theory of Restrictions is to focus on the point to be improved and then we can move on to the definition of every day; a chain is as strong as the weakest link; Following this philosophy we must find what is the weakest link in a process in a company and improve at that point, remember that the speed of a process will always be the slowest process, creating a restriction in the process that can appear in any area of the organization.

The management model in conventional companies is directed at cost control. The Theory of Constraints teaches us that we must change the approach, we should not direct our efforts in cost control, but rather in generating money. To generate money you have to work with the client and depending on the client, but for that to happen we must prepare the company to be able to respond to that client, for this reason we must prepare operational models that are agile, flexible, capable of responding to constant and changing requirements.
