One researcher conducted a project with the Marketing and the Order Receiving Departments with three managers and fourteen employees. We clarified needs for computer support of the Order Receiving and the Marketing functions, the integration with the overall production of films, and organizational consequences of a parallel restructuring and merging of the two departments. The research goal was experimenting with strategic analysis by means of the Work Analysis and Functional Analysis. The project lasted five months comprising two months of work by the researcher.
