Written Report BA

This document summarizes a written report on the fundamental of participation versus departmentalization. It discusses how participation ensures members work together harmoniously by giving stakeholders a voice in how the organization is managed. Multistream managers prefer smaller divisions of 120-150 members where goals are clear. Participation also includes inviting external stakeholders. Both too little and too much participation can cause problems, so an optimal level is needed.
