Organizational topology

The organizational topology change suggested by Golembieski et al (1976) revolves around gamma, beta and alpha change. To be specific, in consideration of the gamma transformation, the managers may fail to have actual insight about the way business, but they should be recognized in the organization because of their insights towards the company’s progress. In particular, the gamma level change call for the organization to be ready for a change informal way. For example, Jeff Bezos has been a popular leader in Amazon due to effectively practicing suitable principles that enable him to interact effectively with the workers. Indeed, Jeff’s leadership guidelines were used within the organization to boost innovative thinking as well as enhancing quick response to various institutional changes. In relation to the above information, Jeff has been inspiring other workers to use effectual leadership element in its real phrasing and align it with something it with something they have done at the previous project, internship, and previous job. 

On the other hand, alpha change is considered as the lowest order of change, which may emanate from innovative implementations of managerial skills. The application of the alpha change concept is clearly seen where different types of technology are replaced, hence, contributing to the automation of various tasks devoid of altering the organizational structure and roles of the workers. For example, Amazon has experienced a great change, hence, being able to effectively generate eloquent and unrestricted cash flow. To illustrate, this company is presently making lots of revenue as it is seen on 30^th September 2015 when its cash flow was confirmed to have increased almost by 50%. On the same year, Amazon’s operating cash flows had increased from $5.4 billion to $8.6. Based on the above information it is clear that the alpha has played a vital role in Amazon since this company have maintained a higher net sale from 2015 up to date. 

In addition, beta level change calls for greater knowledge that promotes the business’ functionality. To illustrate, beta transformation focus on bringing about changes that impact the company’s workflow in a positive manner. For example, Amazon has used beta level change tactics, hence, managing to come up with a new plan for distributing more packages. Indeed, the above technique has helped Amazon to recruit employees who facilitate the process of carrying out small-scale delivery practices in an effective manner. In particular, this company has launched a Delivery Service Partner program meant to enable the entrepreneurs to proceed with local delivery services in an efficient manner. Still, Amazon has established delivery units that ease the process of picking up packages from multiple delivery stations.
