You are the CEO of an established corporation that has just bought a fast-growing startup company that develops mobile apps. Almost all of its employees are under the age of 30
As you integrate the company into your existing organization, what type of communication network would you encourage for the startup division: wheel, chain or all-channel?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Possible response: Because the employees of the startup are all Millennials, I would implement an all-channel network. Unlike Baby Boomers and older workers, the Millennial Generation is very comfortable with a free and open exchange of information. The highly controlled dynamic of a wheel or chain network would frustrate them and limit their productivity. An all-channel network would suit their communication comfort zone and support the intellectual energy necessary for the new division to succeed.
