has chosen for its future growth; A plan an organization formulates to gain a  Structure - the framework in which the

activities of the organization's members are coordinated. The four basic structural forms are the functional form, divisional structure, matrix structure, and network structure.

management and the organization's overall operating approach; Also the way in which the organization's employees present themselves to the outside world, to suppliers and customers.

McKinsey’s 7 S Model  Skills - what the company does best; The

distinctive capabilities & competencies that reside in the organization.  Staff  Staff -- the organization's human resources;

Refers to how people are developed, trained, socialized, integrated, motivated, and how their careers are managed.

superordinate goals; The guiding concepts & principles of the organization - values and aspirations, often unwritten.  The fundamental ideas around which a
