Transcript: Symbolic Assumptions 1. What is most important is not what happens, but what it means 3. People create symbols to resolve confusion, find direction, and anchor hope and faith in the face of ambiguity and uncertainty 4. Events and processes are often more important for what is expressed than for what is produced 5. Culture forms the superglue that bonds an organization, unites people, and helps an enterprise accomplish desired ends. transform a place of work into a revered institution and an all encompassing way life Stories and Fairytales Remember only this one thing The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them If stories come to you, care for them And learn to give them away where they are needed Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive That is why we put these stories in each others' memories This is how people care for themselves Lopez 4 Major Roles: (1) socialize (2) stabilize (3) Reassure (4) Convey message to external constituencies Every group develops its own unique set of words, phrases, and metaphors to match its circumstances Institutional Theory Theatrical part of organizations are what occurs between organizations and their publics Some organizations worry more about how innovations appear than how effective they actually are. Organizations are constantly buffeted by larger social, political, and economic trends, so they are a player in a greater world theater. Drawing Exercise! According to Cohen and March, there are four symbolic roles that plans serve. Plans are symbols Plans become games Plans become escuses for interaction Plans become advertisments The Red Cross outlines their spending to date, and their future goals such as... Providing adequate housing Controling the Cholera outbreak Conducitng health campaigns to educate citizens about HIV/AIDS Meetings tend to to deal with issues realting to emotionally charged, symbollically significant pr technically fuzzy issues.

Universitys convene visiting commitees or accrediting teams to evaluate schools or departments Governemnts require routine assesments on programs to evaluate efficacy Labor and managment work to forge divisive standoffs into workable agreements. For example, Unions want better wages, benefits and working conditions while mamagment aims to keep costs down and maximize prfts for shareholders. Negotiators have to represent both teams. They must remain in control of the situation. Bargaining is a ritual that delivers the preformance various audiences demand. The bargaining drama is designed to convince each side that the outcomes were the result of a heroic batte. The Yes Institute's goal is to create healthy development of all youth through communication and education on gender and orientation. People in schools, churches, family and work environements may missunderstand gender and orientation. To work cohesively they need to come to a "collective agreement" Yes workers like Joesph serve as a mediator between those who are having trouble working cohesively in an enviroment that doesn't support them. QUESTIONS? Scripted with dress codes and codes of conduct The Red Cross Depicts a workplace structure as a stage design: an arrangement of space, lighting, props, and costumes that make the drama vivid and credible to its audience.

STRUCTURAL FRAME PRESENTATION

Transcript: Angelo State University Athletics goal is to provide opportunities for exceptional student-athletes to compete in their sport and to enrich their personal lives, improve their abilities to serve and contribute to society, and to become leaders in their professions and communities. ASU athletics will provide growth and development in all aspects of college life important to leadership. We will inspire competitive excellence through integrity and sportsmanship. I believe that the goals are clear and easy to find for those that are looking for them. I believe that there is an unstated goal to win. If coaches do not win they may lose their jobs. I believe that ASU athletics does an adequate job adhering to the six assumptions of the structural frame. We exist to achieve the established goals that were previously discussed. We have a strong division of labor that allows for individuals to specialize their performance. As a program, we have strong communication and coordination that allow all individuals to mesh as a whole. At times I believe that coaches have personal agendas in mind instead of working toward the overall goal. This can include play calling and player accountability issues. The program is structured well to fit the current circumstances. Communication and problem solving during monthly meetings help remedy the issues that arise. ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES In college athletics there is always a level of uncertainty because of the turnover rate of coaches and athletes. Currently at ASU I believe that the level of uncertainty is low because of the success of our athletic teams. Prolonged success can lead to a level of uncertainty in athletes because coaches could leave in search of "better" jobs. Bolman, Lee G., Deal, Terrence E., (2017). Reframing organizations. Retrieved from https://blackboard.angelo.edu/courses/1/17.FALL.EDG6340DS1.khansen2/db/_2611853 _1/embedded/PT%204_Struct%20and%20Org%20Class%20M2.pdf MANAGEMENT AND BUREAUCRACY ASU athletics have monthly meetings as an organization to maintain the goals that we set out as a program. Meetings are led by coaches, administrators, and support staff. These meetings discuss NCAA compliance, academic success, and athletic success. This helps all sports stay on the same page as a program. We also have weekly meetings with boosters to help maintain good relationships for potential funding. ASU athletics has aspects of the classical management and bureaucracy theory within its program. There is a hierarchical structure that includes three distinct layers of management. At the top is the president of the university, in the middle is the athletic administrators, and at lowest level is the head/assistant coaches of the sport teams. Specialization is evident when looking at administrators and coaches. Administrators specialize in an area such as the AD specializes in leadership, compliance specializes in rules, Development Officer specializes in fund raising, and each head coach specializes in their sport. Each worker knows their role and division of labor to help with efficiency in the workplace. LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY SIX ASSUMPTIONS OF THE STRUCTURAL FRAME The key features of the ASU athletics program is the lines of communication and the division of labor. Having monthly meetings regarding performance and compliance help all parties understand what is going on within the program. Everyone knows their role which helps with efficiency. When decisions are made within the ASU athletic program nearly all parties of the division of labor are involved. If it is a monetary issue, typically the administrators and head coaches are involved. If it is a compliance issues, it is handled by the compliance officer and athletic director. Athletes have a say in the decision making process by using their voice in the Student-Athlete Activity Council that meets monthly. If the decision effects the entire program, the president, athletic director, and coaches are all called in to discuss potential decisions. The president has the final say in some decisions and what he says can be final. REFERENCES STRUCTURAL FRAME PRESENTATION by Spencer Barr DECISION MAKING ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCCESS DEFINING SUCCESS ASU athletics define success through a number of different ways. One is through wins and losses in the sport. Another is through graduation rate and academic retention. Also, community service within the program is measured to define success. To ensure that we know if we are being successful, we meet as an entire athletic program to discuss our success and potential failures. This allows issues to be addressed and fixed. STRUCTURAL DILEMMAS DIVISION OF LABOR The division of labor for ASU athletics goes as followed: Dr. Brian J. May – Angelo State University President (Head of the university. Makes all final decisions) James Reid – Director of Athletics (Head of the athletic department. Makes all final decisions regarding to athletics. Must report to Dr.
