Now that you have learned some of the basic principles of organization, pause and think of where you have already applied such concepts yourself or when you have been involved with an organization that did.

1.In your current (or past) organization, did you find that a division of labor was necessary and helpful?

2.In your current (or past) organization, were you assigned specific tasks or were you left on your own to decide what to do?

3.In your current (or past) organization, were promotions based strictly on qualifications, as Weber suggested? What other factors were considered?
