Please read the “Beth Israel Hospital” case study in Chapter #4 of the textbook (hardcopy text, pgs 90-91; e-book text: pg 82 ). In preparation for class discussion of the case, please respond briefly to following questions. Your responses should be concise, a paragraph (6 sentences) for each question, using complete sentences. The objective is to try to apply relevant course/chapter content to the case in your responses:

1. Identify and explain TWO ‘structural dilemmas’ that Beth Israel Hospital was attempting to address or rebalance through its restructuring process. Please first DEFINE/DESCRIBE each of your chosen structural dilemmas before applying it to the example from the case (Note: refer to hardcopy textbook pages 70-73 for the different structural dilemmas). When applying to the structural dilemmas, make sure that you reference examples from the case to show how these dilemmas are illustrated/what they look like in practical terms.

2. What were the consequences of the restructuring effort? Do you believe the new structure aligned with the organization’s goals? Why or why not? Please fully explain.

Please prepare your responses as a Word document ONLY, making sure to include your name and class number/section.
