LESSON 3: Organization Theories and Applications
Traditional Organization Design Theories
SIMPLE
This organizational design has few departments, wide spans of
control, or a big number of subordinates directly reporting to a
manager; has a centralized authority figure and has very little
formalization of work; usually used by companies that start out
as entrepreneurial ventures.
When applied, its strengths and weaknesses are revealed.
See Table 4.1 below
This is another organizational design where the design is not
defined or limited by vertical, horizontal, and external boundaries.
In other words, there are no hierarchical levels that separate the
employees, no departmentalization, and no boundaries that
separate the organization from customers, suppliers and other
stakeholders. Virtual organization designs are often used in this
design; small groups of full time-time employees and outside
specialists are temporarily hired to work on projects. Its advantages
include being highly flexible and responsive, while its
disadvantages are lack of control and problems in communication.
