week 2

Multidisciplinary is when people of different backgrounds and different specialties come together to solve a common goal. Each person has a specific job that corresponds with their knowledge and they don't vary away from that one form of thinking. They are there to provide a certain insight. For example, a communication major would bring to the group the communication point of view while a economics major would provide the economic point of view. With interdisciplinary, people combine ways of thinking to produce their outcome. The interdisciplinary field has no boundaries across concentrations or schools of thought. The goal is to combine different ways of thinking to provide an answer that involves more than one way of thinking. I feel as if my organization I work for runs in more of a interdisciplinary manner. I work for a small business and everything is done with few employees and we are responsible to be able to do any of the various tasks that are needed to run the business. No one really has a set position, except for the boss, but works where they are needed. The structure of this organization is a hierarchy in the sense that the owner is on top and delegates the work to the employees of the store.
