Read the case analysis “Shoe Corporation of Illinois” beginning on page 456 of the textbook. Also, be sure to review the Exhibit 11.9 which is a partial Organizational Charter of Shoe Corporation of Illinois.

(1) Analyze the organizational structure
(2) Provide recommendations for improvement in information flow
(3) How would you characterize the current interdependence between departments? How should it be improved?
(4) Given that the president’s intent is to change shoe styles frequently, how could innovation be fostered?
