Introduction

The organizations’ structure and organizational structure

The organizations’ structure determines the company’s business activities. The activities in the organization currently are retail activities which includes the operational structures and how the organization is operating to promote the e-commerce market. The organization also has a structure on how it addresses the problems that are being faced currently including the pandemic and the need for social distancing. The organization has a culture that helps all the staff members to be able to implement all the changes that are needed for the organization to be able to perform effectively, (Zellner, 2016). The company’s culture has been incorporated effectively throughout the entire organization.
The companies human resource management is strong and resilient to any defects that occur including handling incompetent staffs and letting go of any procurement and supply that is likely to affect the organizations general income.
Nokia is known for its hierarchical and a function-based system. This system entails the vertical lines and the command plus the authority that is set throughout the organizational structure.
The employees are mandated to adhere to a specific culture. The organization also ensures that it has been able to fulfill the employees needs effectively by being able to incorporate the policies that have been set. Nokia performs perfectly as it is able to listen to the employees’ weeds through the management and incorporate the changes that are needed.
Nokia has opted to use the set structure so that they can be able to perform effectively amidst any economic challenges.

Challenges that are being faced at Nokia

The organization is currently facing low innovation and it is seen by customers moving and seeking services from competitors. This is due to the fact that the organization is still unable to provide services to all the people from all works of life. Nokia, like the rest of the world, is also going through the corona pandemic and this has greatly affected the organization selling and provision of services. With the lock downs and cease of movement that has been experienced through the whole world, delivery of supplies that are needed by the other branches has not been easy. There has been increase on the rates for shipment as compared to the previous year’s making it even more difficult to ensure every branch has what they need.
Another challenge that the organization is facing is the fact that the organization has a weak innovative management that is putting a lot of pressure and cost burden. The goals that the organization is aiming to achieve which entails provision of services at a low price is being affected by the organizations competition which is providing for a faster and efficient service to the customers (Frederick’s, 2010). In order to survive, they must compete, and they have not been competing. The organization is still using the old system which has been termed to be more rigid as compared to the other organizations that are providing for the same services, (Khederian, 2021.)

Conclusion

The current organizations plan is not working, and they need to be able to take care of the current market needs in order to compete. Even though the organization is trying as hard as it can to go green, it is channeling its energy in the right direction but needs to be able to deal with the problems that it is currently facing (Rock, 2019).
