Introduction
    The long-standing American retail behemoth Target Corporation has been a leader in the sector for many years. We will carefully evaluate Target's present organizational structure, culture, values, and procedures in this in-depth study. We will also present a series of well thought suggestions designed to improve the company's effectiveness and flexibility in a retail environment that is always changing.
Organizational Structure Evaluation
Current Organizational Structure
    The conventional hierarchical approach that defines Target's current organizational structure dominates. There is a distinct chain of command, clearly defined positions, and a hierarchical reporting structure within this organization. Each functional division of the company is headed by an executive vice president or senior vice president (Raji & Buolamwini, 2019).

Due to Target's broad retail network, supply chain and logistics are essential for controlling the flow of goods from suppliers to distribution centers and stores. With a focus on e-commerce platforms, data analytics, and digital solutions and tight collaboration with multiple divisions to improve the customer experience, the technology team is playing an ever-more-important role in the company. Store associates, cashiers, and department supervisors make up the workforce at the entry level of the organizational structure. The hierarchical structure has historically offered...
