Greiner's Organizational Growth model describes specific phases an organization goes through over time as it increases in size. Each phase consists of a period of stable evolutionary growth followed by a crisis or turning point that needs resolution before progressing to the next stage. These periods of growth are described as evolution and revolution. When comparing the Greiner model to the US Navy, evolutionary and crisis stages have occurred since its establishment to leading to the possibility of the organization being in the fifth phase.
Understanding a need for ships to fight British sea power, the Continental Congress established the Continental Navy on Oct 13, 1775, and authorized of two vessels to be armed, and manned with seagoing …show more content…
The warfare capabilities and characteristics required to conduct missions are executed through a collaborative process of analysis across a range of options available through multiple ship and aircraft platforms. The warfare tasks that must be carried out against an advisory can range from limited to severe. However, it always presents a multi-dimensional threat. Therefore, the force structure comprises around a balance of ship and aircraft types which will most efficiently accomplish the required warfare tasks in specific geographic regions. Grouping of units to achieve the proper balance for specific tactical employment is essential to the achievement of the …show more content…
It uses flexible teams to solves problems, combined unit across functional tasks, has HQ staff that consults with field units using real-time command and control information systems, and forms matrix-type structures in which each unit participates based on operational needs, roles, and overall mission accomplishment. However, the Navy must be careful to not misperceive crisis and revert to previous phases that cause a crisis that have been previously overcome. They must look forward to the next crisis and increase capability to collaborate with other service branches. Due to less frequent interaction together, each of the services must hone the ability to conduct joint operations to achieve common goals. Also, US forces will have to overcome a more significant challenge of working with multinational and allied forces. The crisis of synergy will occur and lead to the next phase of evolution. In overcoming the crisis stage, a synergistic effort is required to increase the interoperability to share information freely, communicate and interact effectively, and integrate information into real-time systems to make better decisions. The synergy of cooperation results in a force multiplier by many teams operating with one common goal. Ultimately this crisis will lead to the 6th phase of evolution of Joint & International Cooperation. However, this crisis will not be fully realized or
