Question

Select, research, and analyze a real organization (public, private, or non-profit). You may select an organization in which you have worked or have been a member.

Examine a problem or issue of concern within that organization. Be selective in choosing an issue or problem within an organization, as a lack of depth in the issue itself will not be an acceptable excuse for lack of depth in the analysis. The purpose of this CLA is to apply both what has been learned in the course as well as your own independent research to problems in an organization of your choice.

Focus on an issue or problem that the organization is facing and is relevant to the content of this course. It will likely take several reflection sessions to identify a problem or issue that can be clearly defined, is manageable in scope, and is relevant to the course.

To meet these broad goals, answer the following questions in a APA formatted written report supported by at least three (3) academic sources:

1) What are the issues or problems facing the organization?

2) What theoretical concepts from this course can be applied to understand why this problem is occurring?

3) What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning?

The company diversifies in manufacturing entire spectrum of computer hardware like network interface controllers, chipsets, integrated circuits, graphics chips, embedded processors as well as various other products associated with computing and communications. Ever since I started using personal computers and laptops, I was amazed by the power of its microprocessors. Personally, I used to select the electronic device that had “Intel Inside” since it commands high quality of the chips used. By the virtue of this assignment, I have performed extensive research on the company Intel and analysed what are the internal issues which derailed the growth of the company (Burgelman, R. A., 1994).
Company Background
Intel was founded by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore in the year 1968 and prospered under the leadership and guidance of Andrew Grove (Moore, G. E., 1996). The company plays a strategic role in accelerating the growth of other technology company in the Silicon Valley. Intel is a pioneer for making first ever SRAM and DRAM memory chip in the marketplace and world's commercial microprocessor. As the market grew, Intel witnessed incoming of various competitors to grab the business. For instance, one of the biggest rivals of Intel is AMD producing x86 architecture at much lower prices. Therefore, from early 2000 onwards, Intel as an organisation faced tremendous external pressure from the market. The company was losing massive market share to its competitors and was constantly challenged by new entrants in the market.
