The company was founded as Kentucky Fried
Chicken by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1952
though the idea of KFCs fried chicken
actually goes back to 1930.
Although Sanders died in 1980 he remains
an important part of the companys branding
and advertisements and "Colonel Sanders"
or "The Colonel" is a metonym for the
company itself. The company adopted KFC
an abbreviated form of its name in 1991.3
Starting in April 2007 the company began
using its original name Kentucky Fried
Chicken for its signage packaging and
advertisements in the U.S. as part of a new
corporate re-branding program45 newer
and remodeled restaurants will have the new
logo and name while older stores will
continue to use the 1980s signage.
Additionally Yum continues to use the
abbreviated name freely in its advertising.

A number of different factors are
determinants of structure they shape how
these elements are used to structures the
organization. These factors include goals
social customs and mores beliefs and values
of the founders or the current managers
environmental constrains and available
technology.
Once we learn about the elements affect how
those elements are combined into actual
structures.
Our notions of structure include the
assumption that organizations have
relatively impermeable and easy to find
boundaries. That is one can fairly easily
differentiate the organization from its
environment.
This premise is true of most organizations
today but may be less true tomorrow when

we may have to alter radically our notions
about what constitutes structure. In
industrialized nations we are quickly working
ourselves into a world in which high
technology office management systems are
used to complete and integrate work. It may
be difficult to define the boundaries of say a
bank if many of its clerical personnel work at
home on terminals and transit their
completed work into a central computer if
customers access the bank through
automatic teller machines and personal
computers at home and if banking has
become so deregulated that lines of
demarcation between banks and other
financial institutions have blurred or been
erased.
