The complaint by employees that they are too involved with administrative tasks indicates that the current organizational structure may not be optimal. A change in the structure may help reduce administrative workloads and thus, enable employees to better focus on product innovation and development. Exporting products to emerging markets, low employee attrition, and a labor union negotiation success do not necessarily indicate the need for a change in organizational structure.
