Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Boundary-spanning roles involve linking and coordinating the organization with key elements in the external environment, such as customers, suppliers, and regulators. This helps to ensure that the organization is responsive to changes in the external environment and able to identify and take advantage of new opportunities. Flexible structures may also be important in facilitating boundary-spanning roles, but they are not assumed by people or departments themselves. Mechanistic structures and forecasting roles are not directly related to linking and coordinating the organization with the external environment.
