To prepare for this assessment, use Capella library to research each of the following designs:
Functional organization.

You will find that the Capella library contains a vast number of articles on each of these organizational designs. You should strive to select at least two for each design in order to get more than one perspective.
For this assessment, complete the following:

Compare the four types of organizational design in terms of:
Structure.
Strategies.
Challenges they face in today’s environment.
Choose one of the organizational designs from the four and describe how you would use that design to create an organizational structure that would lead to high performance.
Format this assessment as a research paper following APA 6th edition guidelines for both style and citing sources, making sure you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each part while also being as clear and concise as possible.

I may be attaching an example of a paper. DO NOT plagiarize from it. It is just to provide you with an idea of what the teacher is looking for.
I have had SO many issues with plagiarism from 99 papers in the past. DO NOT use someone else;s work. Even if you try to change every other word, it still gets flagged for plagiarism. Thank you.
