Organizational Structure and Design

1. INTRODUCTION.

Organizational structure can play an important role in an

organization’s success. The process of organizing—the second

management function—is how an organization’s structure is created.

2. DEFINING ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE.

Managers are seeking structural designs that will best support and

allow employees to effectively and efficiently do their work.

A. Before we look at the elements of organizational structure and

design, we need to define some important terms.

1. Organizing is the process of creating an organization’s

structure. That process has several purposes, as shown in Exhibit 10.1.

2. An organizational structure is the formal arrangement of jobs

within an organization.

3. Organizational design is the process of developing or changing

an organization’s structure. It involves decisions about six key elements:

work specialization, departmentalization, chain of command, span of

control, centralization/decentralization, and formalization. We need to take

a closer look at each of these structural elements.

B. Work specialization is the degree to which tasks in an

organization are divided into separate jobs. Most managers today see work

specialization as an important organizing mechanism but not as a source of

ever-increasing productivity.

C. Once work tasks have been defined, they must be grouped

together in some way through a process called departmentalization—the

basis on which jobs are grouped in order to accomplish organizational

goals. There are five major ways to departmentalize. (Exhibit 10.2)

1. Functional departmentalization is grouping jobs by functions

performed.

2. Product departmentalization is grouping jobs by product line.

3. Geographical departmentalization is grouping jobs on the

basis of territory or geography.
