Organizational structure depends on products developed, technology used, skills and attitude of employees and users of the product.  Because all of this is still evolving, the organizational structure may be a work in progress with a focus on effective decision-making across the whole institution.

Effective decision-making across the whole institution will be increased if:

• All governing groups (education, accreditation, and licensure) and all user groups (faculty, staff, students, and veterinary practitioners) participate in decision-making.
• Both teaching and business activities are our priorities.
• The decision-making capability is fully developed at local and central levels (Bates, 2000). Therefore, a structure that combines centralized and decentralized organization looks like the solution of choice.
