Rapid environmental changes has a lot of effects on the organizations. Every organization exists in an environment and interacts with it to some extent. When the environment changes in a significant way, the organization usually goes through a process of adaptation which, allowing for time lag, corresponds in some way to the environmental change. If sufficient adaptation does not take place, strains will develop and the organization will begin to move toward irrelevance, extinction, or some form of abrupt, forced, change.
The environmental change may include the change in the regulations, change in the authority, changes in the location of a site, changes in the administration, changes in the governing authority, changes in trade, changes in international laws, stock market valuation changes, company going public, and other major turnarounds. 
Functional structures are slow to respond to environmental changes. The reorganization would be aimed at reducing the agency's response time to environmental changes and at increasing cooperation and communication among specialists from different departments, as it is quoted in the study material also. I firmly believe that managers have the responsibility to adhere to the changes and allow those changes to affect the organization in a subtle manner so that the changes do not affect the firm in a bad way. 
There are elements that include, for example, hostile or condescending attitudes toward research, planning, management, and "outsiders." Their dysfunctionality often takes the form of promoting attitudes and behavior that tend to insulate the organization from full and free contact with its en- vironment. An organization that is not fully exposed to its environment is under reduced pressure to adapt to it. The short-term functionality of these elements is usually to be found in the way in which they soothe and reassure members of the subculture, protect them from critics and criticism, help smooth interpersonal relationship and promote discipline and order.

This assignment allows students to develop exam study guides, while also helping classmates. Students have been divided into groups (approximately 4 people in each group). To work with your group, and post the two required postings, go to the Blackboard course website and choose “My Groups” from the left side menu. Click on the group, then, under “Group Tools” click “Group Discussion Board”. For further instructions regarding how to use/post to the discussion board, I have attached instructions to this assignment. Students may only consult, and cite, the textbook, the assigned supplemental readings/video, and the narrated lectures for this assignment.    Part 1: The first part of this assignment is to post to your GROUP DISCUSSION BOARD (not the class discussion board), an open-ended question (requiring more than a yes or no answer) from the chapter you have been assigned. Do not post an answer; just a question. To post, click on the Student Study Guide assignment in your group disc

Access AHIMA: What is Health Information

  Reflection Students are encouraged to create portfolios and begin to "manage" their careers. When you began a college education you took the first step. You now need to begin to reflect on the next goal, then medium, and long-term goals. I did not complete my final degree until well into my 50's. And that is fine, I loved my health care career. I was eager to care for patients and did not leave direct patient care for many decades. I did know the time would come to do so however, and began to earn the college degrees I would need at the proper time. This is what is meant by managing your career. This is an entry level program. It is designed to assist you in getting your "foot in the door" where you can learn valuable clinical skills. A common and important degree is the Bachelor of Health Information Management (BS-HIM). This is a reflective assignment. After you have earned your Associate Degree, what would you like to do next? Explore your next step in Care
