Choose one of the organizations to use for all weekly assessments. You will not be able to change your organization, so make sure you are comfortable with your choice.
Describe the mission, vision, values, structure, and culture of the company. Each description should be 75-100 words.
Based on your advanced organizer and further research on your company, analyze the degree of alignment between what the organization is currently doing (actions) and their mission, vision, values, structure, and culture. Think about what your company is doing right and on-brand and where there is room for improvement. Your analysis should be 500-750 words. Note: An organization is typically centered on its mission and vision, but it may not always do as its statement says.
I have chosen Amazon as the organization to use. Amazon’s mission statement is “to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online” (Amazon n.d.). This mission reflects the company’s focus on providing a wide range of products and services for their customers as well as making it easier for them to shop online.
The vision of Amazon is “to build an infrastructure that enables us to serve our customers better than anyone else in any industry across the globe” (Statista 2021). This indicates their commitment to further developing their technology and customer service capabilities in order to remain competitive in the digital age.
Amazon values innovation, customer obsession, ownership, bias for action, frugality, diversity among others (Amazon n.d.). These principles not only provide guidance on how employees should behave but also shape how decisions are made within the company by emphasizing efficiency and ensuring fairness regardless of race or gender.
The structure of Amazon consists of multiple divisions such as retailing, fulfillment centers, data science teams etc., which collaborate together under one organizational umbrella in order make sure that objectives are met efficiently (Gabaix et al 2020). The culture at Amazon is based on its core values which emphasize innovation and respect for each other’s ideas; this promotes a spirit of cooperation throughout all levels of management..
From my analysis I believe there is a strong alignment between what Amazon is currently doing and its mission, vision, values ,structure ,and culture . Their focus on making it easy for customers purchase whatever they need online while simultaneously striving towards technological advances has enabled them become one of world’s leading e-commerce companies with over $100 billion dollars in revenue annually (Statista 2021). This success can be attributed largely due to their ability to maintain consistency between what they stand for internally and how they conduct themselves externally.

By and large, “”In old Greece and Rome, before the approaching of Christianity, perspectives toward child murder, dynamic willful extermination, and self destruction had would in general be lenient. Numerous old Greeks and Romans had no fittingly characterized confidence in the intrinsic worth of individual human existence, and agnostic doctors probably performed regular early terminations as well as both deliberate and compulsory benevolence killings. Albeit the Hippocratic Vow restricted specialists from giving ‘a dangerous medication to anyone, not regardless of whether requested,’ or from recommending such a game-plan, barely any old Greek or Roman doctors followed the pledge steadfastly. All through old style relic, there was broad help for deliberate demise rather than delayed anguish, and doctors agreed by frequently giving their patients the toxins they mentioned.” (Dowbiggin) Despite the fact that doctors in old times made a similar vow to save lives, they actually gave out toxins to kill patients. Some say that the justification behind the doctors’ activities were on the grounds that Christianity hadn’t been laid out yet. Thus, the rule of “Thall will not kill,” had not yet been composed.
“Since old times, Jewish and Christian scholars have gone against self destruction as conflicting with the human great and with obligations to God. In the thirteenth hundred years, Thomas Aquinas embraced Catholic showing self destruction in contentions that would impact Christian idea about self destruction for quite a long time. Aquinas denounced self destruction as off-base since it contradicts one’s obligation to oneself and the regular tendency of self-propagation; since it harms others and the local area of which the individual is a section; and in light of the fact that it disregards God’s power over life, which is God’s gift. This position exemplified perspectives about self destruction that won from the Medieval times through the Renaissance and Reconstruction.” (ProCon.org) Despite the fact that the discussion is normally about doctor helped self destruction, the truth of the matter is that the patients are as yet commiting self destruction. In the event that an individual who is of sound psyche and can simply decide, in the event that they are introducing self-destructive considerations, policing each option to mediate the endeavor. On the off chance that that is the situation with regular individuals, for what reason would it be advisable for it be any unique for individuals who are wiped out and in the clinic. Assuming that equivalent individual who was wiped out was out on the planet, and came dependent upon somebody and requested that that individual assist with committing suicide since they essentially don’t have any desire to live any longer, the individual likely wouldn’t help them.
During the late eighteenth Hundred years, “The dismissal of self destruction and willful extermination stayed firm, even after large numbers of the new states decriminalized self destruction following the Progressive Conflict. Most of Americans dismissed self destruction’s precedent-based regulation discipline… yet regardless of how thoughtful they were toward the self destruction’s family, most Americans halted far shy of excusing self-murder. As late as the before the war period there existed in the US a firm agreement… against self destruction and benevolence killing.” (Dowbiggin)
