    Uploaded by

    The document compares and contrasts the management styles of two companies, Acme and Omega. Acme has a mechanistic and highly centralized structure, while Omega has a more organic and decentralized structure that encourages employees' ideas. Acme was awarded a photocopier contract by reducing costs by 20% but the decision may not have been wise as it focused more on price than quality. Both companies need improvements to survive in the future, such as Acme becoming more flexible and encouraging employees, and Omega becoming more formalized and motivating workers.
