Answer to Question 1

The idea of using the business process, such as order processing, as an alternative way of grouping people and resources can have a large impact on the structure of the organization. First, people are evaluated on a new set of process metrics as opposed to the old view of measuring employees solely on the performance of their functional area. The business process view also leads to a flattening out of the organizational structure from a hierarchical to a more of a matrix structure. This is because decisions and information are pushed down the hierarchy and resources to some extent too.
