The driving force for any business to survive is to satisfy the "supply and demand" and to stay competitive, you must constantly assess new opportunities and programs, balancing demand with affordability and potential return on investments. Considering changing to a new service for provider-based delivery system, must have the potential to set the highest standard for the company in offering the best price, product, and service to satisfy that supply and demand.

As the administrator of a big corporation such as this one, he or she should feel that they are responsible for weighting out the options and choosing the one to best fit the needs of the population as well as the employees, choosing a MRI machine that will best suit the needs of the clinic, pricing out the equipment as well as finding out if there are any hidden costs, and finding out if the total cost of the machine includes training, and installation. There are many organizational structures that need to be covered and they are as follows:

Departmentalization by Function

When departmentalization by function is selected as the structural option, technical expertise provides the rationale for division of labor. Departments typically include operations, marketing, finance, and human resources. Operations have responsibility for producing the product or delivering the service for which the organization was created. The other departments market and distribute the produce or provide support services to employees and to operate.

Matrix Organization

Matrix organizations are characterized by employees having more than one immediate supervisor. The structural innovation is based on the premise that in order to perform at an optimal level of productivity, employees often need expertise that comes from more than one person or discipline.

The Project Team

Project teams typically carry part for a responsibility for a large whole. The process of putting a rocket into space, for example, might involve a design team, a manufacturing team, a quality control team, and a documentation team. Each team has its own distinct responsibilities and can, at least to some extent, work independently for the other, as long as there is regular coordination in areas that overlap.

The Collegial Model

In organizations in which the collegial model is used, each person who is a part of the group or team holds the status of peer or colleague. All share management responsibilities equally or work out some type of rotation. This model is used to achieve maximum freedom and flexibility for individual partners or team members.

I feel like the project team model would best suit this situation. That way the management department would be to ones to make big decisions and the rest of the corporation would be affected by the decision in some way or another. Every one in the company has an individual responsibility but all tasks over lap to make up the whole company. Everyone in the company will work as one big team.

2. Non-cash revenues, such as discounts to patient with out insurance.

3. Clients or consumers, the amount of people needing these services.

4. Suppliers- MRI machine supplies at the lowest price.

5. Competitors- Competing with other companies prices.

Sociological factors-

2. gender

3. age

4. other demographic factors

Technological factors

1. Computer hardware needed to run the equipment. Also keeping up to date on all of the new updates and completing the required training
