In addition to the organizational structure for innovation, write a 250-500 word paper summarizing the following:
What type of internal organizational structure is currently implemented within the organization? How does this structure impede or promote innovation?
What type of internal organizational structure did you choose to create for the organization? Why is this the best option to support innovation within the organization?
