Organizational Analysis.

How are our goals achieved? Usually with some type of system or with a plan on how to achieve what it is we want with ultimate success. Well, the same thing applies with media and life in general. Organizational Analysis is that one theory that shows us all the things that we cannot always see. The typical media critic who takes on an organizational perspective is invested the process of an organization and the processes it undertakes. Most organizations have documents such as codes of conduct to symbolize the right and wrong way of doing things within that position given. Organizational Analysis is used to understand why media produces the type of content that they do.

The dimensions of organization range from structure and process. Both correspond with how the job will get done within an organization. The way the show is ran starts with the use of a higher level in hierarchy, differentiation and specialization, the professional and formalization where practices are conformed to accept conventions. The way media produces the matter that it does called process, reflects on the framework and what it has been built upon. As Organizational culture is the set of norms, values and customs, this culture is built on the effectiveness of: performance, narrative, textual, management and technology. Performance to express significance, narrative to influence performance in position, textual documents to enforce and support norms such as handbooks, policy manuals, management to assist in success and productivity and lastly technology to perform the skills required for jobs. All factors that contribute to the true value of the foundation built on progress.
