DATE: December 14, 2021
TO: All Employees
FROM: TSA Analyst
SUBJECT: Transportation Security Administration Organizational Business Model
This message is intended to connect to the process of developing the business model for TSA. It was possible to discover diverse activities the agency performs to ensure safety of all passengers. Working under supervision of Homeland Security produces better quality when dealing with the agency’s operations since it is possible to create accurate security constraints depending on the department’s vast research on criminal tactics.
It was possible to determine how airport passengers connected to all internal security measures by adhering to directions provided by TSA officers. Training officers is another crucial process performed to enhance quality when dealing with flight operations since there is a connection with current technological methods of promoting passengers’ safety.
TSA is clearly an imperative organization whose activities shall never get eliminated when dealing airport security and prevention of improper items getting smuggled into countries.
Thank you for your attention.

The Four-Frame Model
By
Bolman & Deal
Reframing Organizations
Lee G. Bolman &
Terrence E. Deal
Frames
Lenses –focus, filter some
things and allow others to
pass through, help us
order experience.
Frames
Tools –strengths and limitations.
Wrong tool gets in the way; right
tool makes the job easier.
Possess a tool
—but know how
to use it well.
Structural
Frame
• From sociology and management science.
• Emphasizes goals, specialized roles, and
formal relationships.
• Structures (Organization charts) fit
organization’s environment and technology.
• Responsibilities, rules, policies, procedures.
Structural Frame
Problems arise
when
the structure
does not fit the
situation.
Human Resource Frame
• From psychology.
• Organization as an extended family.
• Individuals with needs, feelings, prejudices,
skills, and limitations.
• Capacity to learn—and capacity to defend
old attitudes and belief.
Human
Resource
Frame
Challenge is to tailor
organizations to people—find a
way for individuals to get the job
done while feeling good about
what they are doing.
Political Frame
• Rooted in political science.
• Organizations as arenas, contests, or
jungles.
• Different interests competing for power and
resources.
• Rampant conflict—
differences in needs,
perspectives, and
lifestyles.
• Bargaining, negotiation,
coercion, compromise,
coalitions.
Political Resource Frame
Problems arise when power is
concentrated in the wrong places
or is too broadly dispersed.
Solutions: political skill.
Symbolic Frame
• Draws from social and
cultural anthropology.
• Organizations as tribes,
theaters, or carnivals.
• Culture—rituals,
ceremonies, stories,
heroes, and myths.
• Organization is theater—
actors play role while
audiences form
impressions.
Symbolic Frame
Problems arise when actors play their parts
badly, when symbols lose their meaning,
when ceremonies and rituals lose their
potency.
Rebuild the expressive or
spiritual side of organization
through the use of symbol,
myth, and magic.

Assignment #3: Business Model Canvas Part 2: Pattern, Design, and Strategy
Instructions
GOAL: Build on your work with your business model canvas by discussing the patterns, the design, and the overall business strategy that it illustrates.
Introduction: Using the week 5 Learning Material in the Content area (coupled with the other resources of the course), examine and discuss the observable patterns, designs, and strategies seen in your business model. You should also integrate metaphors (Morgan’s) and framing (Bolman & Deal) into the discussion of your organization/business. This paper will serve as an investigative tool to inform you further about your business model so that you will be prepared to comprehensively diagnose/assess your model and propose recommendations in your final project for the course. You could say that this week’s work lays the groundwork for moving into the substantive diagnosis and assessment expected in your final paper. You may also benefit from conducting an Internet search of the Business Model Canvas to become comfortable with how it works, particularly in the investigation of patterns, design, and strategy. There are also various YouTube-type videos on the web that demonstrate the use of the canvas for this phase of your work with your canvas.
Instructions: Write a 600-750 word paper that presents your conclusions about the pattern(s), design(s), and overall business strategy depicted by your canvas. Metaphoric and framing applications should also be discussed. The paper should be written in third person and is not reflective (first person not acceptable). A title page and references page with a minimum of three sources is required (no abstract needed).
IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the common errors that students make in the writing of this paper is to limit the discussion of the “frames” (Bolman & Deal) and “metaphors (Morgan). Do not merely mention these items, but discuss the implications of them. What “frame” best depicts your organization and why? What does it tell you about the effectiveness of the context/perspective of the interactivity within of your model? Make the same sort of consideration in relation to the most appropriate metaphor that describes the functionality of your organization/business. Look for the “so what” in your consideration of pattern, design, and strategy. This is where the consideration and reflection based on your model—with added insight via the frames and metaphors—provides you a substantive understanding of the implications of the pattern, design, and strategy. Consideration of change, or confirmation of direction—will be revealed in this process.
