ORGANIZATIONAL CONTROL BARRIERS
There are many barriers to effective organization control this may come unpredictably without measures although most organizations observed projected future plans and budget but still the struggle for organizational control comes in the most unexpected time and nobody could ever expected it when and where it is going to happen but it should not hinder them to continue to develop and implement certain actions and future solutions of what may come. It is more essential to take calculated risks rather then prevent them in fact they cannot prevent such occurrences.
Legal Barriers, for example a certain company in Asia would like to expand in their locality they need to produce all legal documents to establish their business they must present municipal, police and safety clearance and others but if they have not pass such documents they may never even start their business. Amway is probably one of the biggest networking organizations but they have encountered several legal issues in other countries. In September 2006 they were banned in India and most of their offices have been closed because of illegal issues and business practices. In November of 2003 they paid $56 million dollars in California because of pyramiding allegation and many other legal controversies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amway
Environmental Barriers including typhoon, climate change, earthquakes and other disasters are widespread in most regions especially in Asia. Many Japanese companies and organizations are still unable to recover their loses in last earthquake and tsunami during 2011, according to BBC news this is probably one of the most powerful and devastating earthquake that happened in Japan it even has 1000 aftershocks. Toyota Motors closed at least three factories and other offices that have the capacity to create 120,000 automobile per year when they are hit and they also decided to evacuate their employees in other countries for safety precautions but they can never recover some of their machineries and factories. Sony evacuated six major factories, refineries exploded, nuclear power plants shut down and thousands other companies has also lost their production. Environmental disasters also happened in any other countries including New Zealand, China and Philippines etc. in 2011. Environmental barrier is probably on of the most uncontrollable barriers that can affect an organization. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-11/toyota-other-japanese-companies-assessing-damage-from-miyagi-earthquake.html
Political Barriers is another organizational hindrance although this is a more predictable risk. The Civil War in Syria still reflects a negative position in their country especially the trading, future investment and tourism has post a threat in their country. Companies and workers left them and still there are threats of war until today because there are about 14,000 people killed and detained with or without reasons because of political dilemma of the past when Ghadaffi are forced to step down in his position. There are still rebels and loyalists suffering and threatening each other, this can create so much impact of scarcity in organizations and in their government. One of the most unforgettable political barriers in organizations is the September 11, 2001 attack in New York City and Washington DC. Almost 3000 people have died.
Technological Barriers has also post a threat in major industries and technology is needed. When most of the organization has made an update in their machineries and information technology compared to a company or government who never had much access in the recent changes in technology. This is probably one of the biggest factor why most countries in Africa is considered to be in a third world countries or newly developed countries because they still experienced poor access to electricity and communication that hinder their knowledge in basic computer education and telecommunication and production. They also lack in modern health care and medical facilities, they are sometimes dependent on the production of crops from other countries while they are left behind in the agriculture when Asian and nearby regions uses heavy machineries in farming while most of their farmers still use manual labor. They also used the most advance technology in their production in most of their factories while some countries in Africa used manual labor.
Structural Barriers are usually concern in manpower or human resources these are organizational positioning of employees that concerned with basic human resource management functions. Employees should be placed according to their qualification and structural barrier becomes a management error when they employed their workers in unsuitable position. There are also lapses, insubordination, power struggle, strikes, corruption, cultural barriers and rallies that can happen in organizations because of structural barriers. This happens in most organizations like in US New Haven Connecticut Court in the case of White Reverse Discrimination when there are needs for firefighter’s promotion the local government favors black minority for promotion even if they failed the exam and the white majority was more qualified. http://articles.cnn.com/2009-06-29/politics/supreme.court.discrimination_1_promotional-exams-white-firefighters-test-results?
