Organizational Design:
Organizational Design may define in different ways;
More specifically, Organization Design is a formal, guided process for
integrating the people, information and technology of an organization. It is used
to match the form of the organization as closely as possible to the purpose(s) the
organization seeks to achieve.
"Organization design" can be defined narrowly, as the process of reshaping
organization structure and roles, or it can more effectively be defined as the
alignment of structure, process, rewards, metrics and talent with the strategy of
the business.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
How do people behave with each other ?

In Gul Ahmed textile all the employees work in friendly environment for
control any problem who make and create faults in work . So the all
Employees of Gulahmed work like a family members or friends.
CONCLUSION
Gul Ahmed has launched its online shop www.gulahmedshop.com for online
shopping but the problem is not all of their products are currently available one
internet.
Mostly it happens on the first day of launch of their new collection, which is done
twice a year (one in winter and other in summer), the customers (mostly ladies)
rush into ideas and Gul Ahmed shop and start purchasing whole lot of a design
and as a result that design get short in the market. And customers who come
become frustrated when they cant find a print.
Gul Ahmed is facing serious supply chain issue in this area, they cant meet the
demand. One thing that can be done in this is the use of online shop to make sure
availability of all their hot designs for a sustainable period of time. This will be a
one good strategy to retain their customers.
Gul Ahmed can also use nontraditional communication channels like facebook
and twitter to interact with their customers and to get feedback. This online
medium is one very effective way of analyzing consumer choices. Google analytics
and facebook page analyzer can provide very useful information about user
preferences. For instance it can tell you which are the most favorite design liked
by the audience, based
on that information Gul Ahmed can start producing more of that particular
design and meet that customer demand.
