2STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMPART 11. Current organisational structureIn order to complete the assignment, Austrade has been taken into consideration.Austrade is a trade, investment and promotion Government company. The organisationalstructure of the company suggests it to be a hierarchical pattern. This includes the flow ofdelegation of authority from bottom to top. Every member needs to follow a systematicmethod in order to reach the top level. The hierarchical structure has many advantages, as thepeople cannot leap forth any person while trying to make any grievances or complain.Similarly, disadvantages may also occur in a way that the solving of the grievances may takea lot of time. Hence, certain discrepancies may arise between the employer and employees.Apart from this, the organisational structure maintained by the company is effective inmaintaining balance in the company.2. Operational problems of AustradeDue to the lengthy process of mitigation of grievances, problems may arise betweenthe top level and the bottom level people. The same problem may also arise in the operationaldepartment. This is because decisions regarding the organisation need to be made based onthe authentication of the managers. Hence, this can take time due to the systematic approachinformation flow. The operational problems faced in Austrade can result inmiscommunication. This is mainly because employees at the lower level cannot approach thehigh-level employees due to the power distance. Thus, there remains less guarantee about theways by which emergency information can be provided to the top-level management. Thus,this can create a serious threat for the organisation (Leon 2014). This is because an improperflow of information can result in failure of productivity.
