Nonprofit Hospital

A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner is a machine that provides excellent contrast in different soft tissues "in the body", because of its durability and crystal clear results and also the incapability of doing harm to the human body like the x-Ray's or computed tomography. MRI machines’ are highly expensive since they work with a high precision in imaging various parts of the body i.e. the brain, lung, abdominal and heart.

If a nonprofit hospital is planning to purchase MRI equipment, the people involved are the shareholders of the hospital. The shareholders will be the donors who will enable the hospital to have its own MRI machine. After the shareholders have approved then they will donate a certain amount and purchase the machine. The main reason for the board to chip in and provide a solution in purchasing expensive equipment i.e. MRI scanning is because of the sole purpose for the organization is to provide, free services to the general mass of people who have diseases like tumors, cancers (Perreault, 2009).

Structuring of any organization requires a manager or board that will implement the goals of the organization, skills of its working people, the needs and the achievements of its opponents, the availability of resources, time, costs and the environmental limitation that exist.  In the case of a nonprofit organization it can be a hospital. The marketing department should communicate with the personnel in different sectors of work.  Therefore, the production department should allocate funds to supplement the organization objectives (Young, 2008). All the departments should gather together and  act as one and achieve the general mission of the organization. Organizations today may be subjected to many factors that influence changes in people’s lifestyles today. Management, employees, suppliers, customers, government and societies are some of the examples of the factors that significantly influence organizations (Young, 2008).
