I have experienced participating in a successful team within an organization on campus when I had been part of a consulting team. I will try to give background information, however I may be limited in how specific I can be out of respect for the non-disclosure agreement I had signed for the project. The basis of the project was that the client had been a college in a large university and they wanted help on creating strategy in order to generate revenue for the college outside of tuition due to a low amount of revenue coming in from the usual expected sources.

I have not been in an RSO that has merged with another RSO, but I have experienced being in an RSO that had become affiliates of the college of business. The RSO that I am a part of provides consulting services to start-up companies in virtually any industry, with the goal of providing solutions to business problems that bring results. The structure of the organization goes from the student leadership team, to partners who manage multiple projects, to project managers, to senior consultants, and finally consultants.

Social events also helped increase productivity since it helped out with positive relationships among
Arnold Harberger is a well known American economist who was born in 1924, and is still alive today at the age of 95 years old. He had received an undergraduate education at John Hopkins University and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. He has taught as a professor at UCLA and has completed visiting professorships at Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and the University of Paris, but is most well known for his experience doing research and curating papers. One thing he is well known for are Harberger triangles, which are used to calculate the efficiency costs of things such as taxes, practices that resemble monopolies, regulations within the government, as well as other distortions within the market. He has also been a consultant for many corporations, government ministries, as well as international organizations. In 1997 he had been appointed as the president of the American Economic Association.  Sources:  http://www.econ.ucla.edu/harberger/ https://www.nber.org/papers/w
