The study describes MCRDSD in terms of its direction, tasks, people, structure, processes, culture, outputs and outcomes using systems analysis and Mintzberg's configuration theory. Based on document reviews, model comparisons, and semi- structured interviews, e-mail and phone conversations with approximately 30 Depot personnel, MCRDSD fulfills its basic mission but is not aligned for optimum performance. The following conclusions pertain: the current organizational structure of MCRDSD may not be optimized towards overall performance; cognizance over the POl resides at too high a level, is too rigid and implementing change too difficult; and Depot priority of making Marines is too often subordinated to the public relations effort. Recommendations are offered to assist Depot leadership in making systematic change to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the depot. With changes in organizational structure, reprioritization of tasks, and adoption of oversight over the POl, MCRDSD can enhance it's command climate, efficiency of the recruit training process, and the quality of basic trained Marine produced.

Book excerpt: Activity-based costing has been embraced as the methodology which will be used to structure and organize cost management information for the Marine Corps. This methodology is applied to operations at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California. Training operations have been examined for a three-year period from fiscal years 1997-1999. Cost analysis identifies total resource consumption of $230 million annually, depot level activities, and the services and products provided by the depot. Detailed information is provided for determining the cost to train a Marine, which is $13,300. Capacity analysis discusses the output of training operations under four capacity frameworks, theoretical, practical, normal, and annual budgeted capacity. Analysis of minimum resource usage examines process scheduling and the quantity of training companies needed. The core competencies of the depot are discussed and value chain analysis is used to map the depot activities into the Porter value chain model. Final recommendations offer improvements to existing ABC models and opportunities for operational cost savings.

At the direction of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, the Crucible was added in December 1996 as a new training event to Marine Corps recruit training. This study focuses on the perceptions of the Recruit Training Regiment's drill instructors and officers regarding the training effectiveness of the Crucible. Structured interviews and discussions were conducted with Marines from Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego and five main themes emerged. Additionally, the Crucible was analyzed based on current training methods and theories. Results showed that the Crucible is effectively reinforcing the teachings of teamwork and core values; is an effective rite of transition; is effectively using Marine Corps history and symbols; is teaching combat decision making skills; and has the proper level of difficulty for new recruits. The study findings suggest that the Crucible is an effective training event, its methods are sound, and it is a defining moment of a recruit's initial training experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A scholarly and compelling analysis of Marine Corps survival as seen through the lens of three different organizational theories, this volume is a sourcebook in management and public administration for the way of seeing view. Frank Marutollo, intimately familiar with the Marine ethic, provides a practical demonstration of how management theories can be regarded as different ways of seeing rather than predictive schemes. He applies three models--the Population Ecology Model, Resource Dependence Model, and Structural Contingency Model--to three separate case studies and evaluates their complementary nature as well as their strengths and weaknesses. This one of a kind approach to the interpretation of management theories will be of particular interest to undergraduate and graduate students of management science and public administration. As scholar and practitioner, Marutollo combines both perspectives to analyze the survival of a major organization in our culture. He selects three management theory models, develops a theoretical framework, and describes his methodology. Marutollo then sets the stage and applies each model to three case studies entitled: The Marine Corps and Military Unification, The New Navy and the Ships Guard, and Paradigms of Attack. He concludes his precise and detailed study with an overall assessment of the case study-model analysis.

Book excerpt: This thesis is a descriptive, comparative organizational analysis of Navy Recruiting District, San Diego during two time periods: Fiscal years 1997- 1998 and 1999-2000. The purpose of this study was to determine those factors affecting organizational performance in the primary area of Enlisted Recruiting production of the district in both time periods using a systems analysis. Based on model comparisons, document reviews, interviews, and personal communications with the leaders, supervisors and recruiters of NRD San Diego, analysis indicates that the district of FY97-98 was ill-equipped in strategy, resources and processes to perform effectively in a more demanding environment. The heightened goal requirements and increased number of recruiting personnel placed on all recruiting districts between 1997 and 1998 exposed NRD San Diego's system weaknesses, resulting in lower indicators of successful performance. The FY99-OO district appeared to handle change better including higher indicators of successful performance such as process improvements, energetic leadership, flattened communication and work flow structures and a well-defined direction. The district's enlisted production performance improved from 1997 to 2000.
