Abstract
This is a Case Study involving a company in the aerospace industry. The case attempts to analyze the trends of decentralization in an organizational structure. Additionally, the analysis will probe the effects these trends are having on middle management positions. The time frame of this thesis includes economic recession and a significant strategy shift due to current world situations. Organizational strategy, culture, subcultures, mission priorities and education are just a few of the elements that will be reviewed as contributors to these issues.
