Re:Organizational Structure<BR><BR></DIV></FONT>Dear List,<BR>Please =
forgive
me for making more than one posting on the same day, but I have been =
asked to
suggest a new organizational structure for our department and it would =
be
helpful to see how other departments are structured. <BR><BR>At =
Northwestern,
Keyboard Maintenance is supervised by the Director of Concert =
Activities, who
reports directly to the Dean of the School of Music. The problem with =
this is
that Concert Activities is a self-supporting entity, with a separate =
budget.
The budget for Keyboard Maintenance is an undefined amount that comes =
from the
School of Music. i.e. My supervisor has no authority to approve my =
budget
requests, (which is the only thing I need a supervisor to do for
us!).<BR><BR>Please take the time to tell me:<BR>1. How does your =
department
fit into the organizational structure at your school and what is your
title?<BR>2. Who approves your budget and do you have authority to =
spend the
money according to your own judgment. <BR>3. Are you allowed to do =
anything to
raise funds for your own departmental use by selling surplus pianos, =
or
providing tuning services to other university departments for a =
fee.<BR>5. Are
you involved with any of the "handy-man" stuff that needs to be done =
in your
school. (Building Management? ) <BR><BR>Your time would be greatly
appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Ken Eschete<BR>Northwestern
