摘要 組織結構和設計是組織的一些最基本的條件，但有時可能影響組織的利潤最多。當一個組織的組織結構不再適合它所在行業的環境時會發生什麼？許多傳統行企業面臨的情況是經歷了不伴隨變化的增長，最終形成了一種組織結構，這種組織結構在當前的環境中不再是最有效的。那麼企業如何評估實現他們所期望的組織結構狀態所需要的？他們如何有效地做到這一點？因此，本研究是通過以下研究問題通過UPC的案例研究激發的：
•UPC經歷了組織結構變化的原因是什麼？
•在UPC組織結構變革的過程中，UPC做了什麼來實現其結構目標以及變化的影響是什麼？
案例研究
    本文以UPC的組織結構調整作為案例研究，考察公司如何能夠更加靈活地適應瞬息萬變的市場變化和需求。本文共分六章，通過文獻綜述，產業綜述與分析，UPC案例分析，案例分析和個案研究結論。
Organizational structure and design are some of the most basic aspects of organizations, yet sometimes can affect the profits of organizations the most. What happens when the organizational structure of an organization no longer is best suited for the environment of the industry that it is in? Many traditional industries face situations where they experience growth that is not accompanied by change, and thus end up with an organizational structure that is no longer most efficient to operate within its current environment. How can then firms evaluate what is needed to achieve their desired organizational structure state, and how can they do this effectively? Therefore, this study is motivated by the following research questions through a case study of UPC:
• What are the reasons that made UPC undergo an organizational structure change?
• In the process of UPC’s organization structure change, what did UPC do to achieve its structure goals and what were the effects of the change?
A case study
This paper uses UPC’s organization restructure as a case study to examine how a company can become more agile to fit the rapid changes and needs of a changing market. This paper has six chapters through a process of literature review, industry overview and analysis, case study of UPC, case study analysis, and a case study research conclusion.
