Differences in orientation towards particular goals:
Members of different departments develop their own views about how best to advance the
interests of the organization. Accounts may see cost control as most important to the
organization's success, sales people may see product features as more important than product
quality etc. i.e. people are buried in departmental attachments.
Differences in time orientation
Time periods mean different things for the various specialists e.g. research people may be preoccupied
with problems that will take years to solve while production managers may be
concerned with problems that must be solved immediately.
Differences in interpersonal orientation
Members of different departments may have different approaches to interpersonal relationships
and especially to communication. Some may adopt a relaxed attitude to communication while
others are abrupt and quick in decision-making_
Differences in formality structure
Each type of unit in the organization may have different methods and standards of evaluating
progress toward objectives and for rewarding employees.
