ASYNCHRONOUS ACTIVITY 1

1. Institutions/Companies that Professionalize IT Practitioners in the Philippines


1. **Philippine Computer Society (PCS)** – A professional organization that promotes IT
education, ethics, and professional development among Filipino IT practitioners.

2. **National ICT Confederation of the Philippines (NICP)** – A network of ICT councils


across the country that helps in professionalizing IT personnel and fostering ICT industry
growth.

3. **Institute of Computer Engineers of the Philippines (ICpEP)** – A professional


organization focused on advancing computer engineering and IT-related disciplines
through certification, research, and development.

2. What is Organizational Structure?


Organizational structure refers to the system that defines roles, responsibilities, authority,
and communication flow within an organization. It determines how activities such as task
allocation, coordination, and supervision are directed toward achieving organizational
goals.

3. Five Types of Organizational Structure

**Functional Structure**
Employees are grouped based on specialized functions (e.g., IT, Marketing, HR). Example: A
software company with separate departments for development, design, sales, and customer
support.

Diagram:
CEO
├── IT Department
├── Marketing Department
├── HR Department
├── Finance Department

**Divisional Structure**
The organization is divided into semi-autonomous units based on product, market, or
geography. Example: A multinational tech company with separate divisions for mobile
devices, cloud services, and software.

Diagram:
CEO
├── Mobile Division
├── Cloud Services Division
├── Software Division
**Matrix Structure**
Employees report to multiple managers (e.g., project manager and functional manager).
Example: A tech firm where a software developer reports to both the IT department head
and a project leader.

Diagram:
CEO
├── IT Department ─── Project A
├── HR Department ─── Project B
├── Finance Department ─── Project C

**Flat Structure**
Few hierarchical levels; promotes direct communication and decision-making. Example: A
startup where employees work closely with the founders and make decisions collectively.

Diagram:
CEO
├── Employees (No middle managers)

**Hierarchical (Line) Structure**


A clear chain of command from top to bottom. Example: A government IT agency where
directives flow from directors to managers to staff.

Diagram:
CEO
├── Senior Manager
├── Department Head
├── Team Leader
├── Employees
