Discussion Question - Assignment Example

Discussion Question 05-29 Discussion Question I have been working for the Environmental Protection Agency for the past ten years and I believe that it is not without its drawbacks. What I have realized and witnessed while working in this organization is that it lacks in a number of things. The Environmental Protection Agency does not take into consideration the role of cross-media which it should emphasize on while changing its organizational structure. Cross-media is an important aspect of the industry and all business do rely on it largely for their operations.

Environment Protection Agency should likewise play its role in addressing cross-media.(EPA, 2006) It should focus on environmental constraints from an approach of cross-media. Environmental Protection Agency should start up a local management system which will better be able to deal with the issues of cross-media over the areas that are affected. Congress should build up and also fund an autonomous bureau of information on environment or data which will be peripheral to the Environmental Protection Agency which will review the environmental state and also give a profound insight into the media programs of Environmental Protection Agency.

(EPA, 2012)The current policies of Environmental Protection Agency should be evaluated as well, mainly the policies concerning the scientific usage as it is a very critical issue for the company. Environmental Protection Agency should also think about the recruitment of a “czar” of science which will be a further implication to the organizational structure of Environmental Protection Agency so that the reliability upon science will be enhanced.
