Assignment 4 part 1
This blogging project did introduce new demands to the Science Center. George Davis, Tony Bormann, and Alison Wallace each did their own thing in regards to what the Science Center does. I think the porblem occured when I stepped in and asked for participation from all of them. They have been working in the same way for years and this project put new demands on the organization that they couldn't meet or didn't want to meet. This hurt my efforts to develop a blog for them. I still have yet to post on the organization blog due to the inability to ever have any form of communication with any of the members.
I can't really comment too much on the authority structure of the organization. As I said before, everyone in the organization seems to operate independently with George Davis as the official head. As far as I can tell each member has their own responsibilities that were decided when the organization was created. This seems to be why there hasn't been much communication between the members regarding my blog project except for the first initial meetings.
I don't know if I could have done anything different except for hounding the members to talk to me. I wrote e-mails asking for meetings. Recently I lost any communication with Alison Wallace about the frequently asked questions for the blog. I still have not heard back from her. I think the organization could have spent more time with me developing the blog. Answering e-mails would have been very beneficial as well.
