    The document discusses why POSDCORB is compared to silos and why information systems and organizations have evolved into functional silos. POSDCORB and silos both involve dividing functions into smaller, more manageable operations and creating independent departments. Organizations evolve over time into more complex structures, requiring optimization and specialized departments for different tasks, leading to the development of functional silos to organize information and communication by department.

    1. Why POSDCORB is compared to a Silo?

    As stated in the given presentation, silos are basically compartmentalized


    operating units isolated from their environment. Based from the word
    “compartmentalized” which defined as dividing into sections or categories,
    it can be similarly compared with POSDCORB as it allows companies to
    assigned and break functions down into smaller and more manageable
    operations.

    As silos provide protection from such elements to increase the storage life
    of the grains, POSDCORB, on the other hand, get involved in how the
    structure of the organization can be further streamlined. Both methods
    create various departments that will stand and work independently from
    others. The two have similarities of having categorization, dividing and
    organizing to demonstrate greater support and preserve such actions or
    products that will benefit in the future.

    2. Why have Information Systems (IS) and Organizations evolved into


    Functional Silos?
    As time goes by, companies or organizations inevitably evolve into larger
    and more complex structures. And with this circumstance, information
    systems should have maintainability along with the businesses’ changes.
    Keeping up with its pace requires optimization of control and handling
    certain tasks and sustaining accuracy. This kind of scenario drives
    businesses to contemplate and establish various departments
    corresponding to each task (such as warehouse department who is
    responsible over product inventory). This is where functional silos are
    presented, as its purpose is to organize and totally separate information
    and communication having the top-down classification (from CEOs to
    supervisors).

    Having information systems evolve into functional silos in an organization


    helps with the prevention of data dependencies. With functional silos, each
    corresponding department has their own integrated space that allows them
    to work accordingly to their own functions and to avoid the tampering of
    data from other departments.
