Designing Organizational Structure
• Organizing– The process by which managers establish
working relationships among employees to achieve goals.
• Organizational Structure– Formal system of task and reporting
relationships showing how workers use resources.

10-9
The Organizational Environment
The Organizational Environment– The quicker the environment changes, the
more problems face managers.– Structure must be more flexible (i.e.,
decentralized authority) when environmental change is rapid.
![Page 10: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10-10
The Organizational Environment
Strategy– Different strategies require the use of
different structures.• A differentiation strategy needs a flexible
structure, low cost may need a more formal structure.
• Increased vertical integration or diversification also requires a more flexible structure.
![Page 11: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
10-11
The Organizational Environment
Technology– The combination of skills, knowledge, tools,
equipment, computers and machines used in the organization.
– More complex technology makes it harder for managers to regulate the organization.
![Page 12: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
10-12
The Organizational Environment
Technology – Technology can be measured by:
• Task variety: the number of new problems a manager encounters.
• Task analyzability: the availability of programmed solutions to a manager to solve problems.
![Page 13: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
10-13
The Organizational Environment
Human Resources– Highly skilled workers whose jobs require
working in teams usually need a more flexible structure.
– Higher skilled workers (e.g., CPA’s and doctors) often have internalized professional norms and values.
![Page 14: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
10-14
The Organizational Environment
• Human Resources– Managers must take into account all four
factors (environment, strategy, technology and human resources) when designing the structure of the organization.
![Page 15: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
10-15
The Organizational Environment
The way an organization’s structure works depends on the choices managers make about:
1. How to group tasks into individual jobs
2. How to group jobs into functions and divisions
3. How to allocate authority and coordinate functions and divisions
![Page 16: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Grouping Jobs into Functions
• Function– Group of people, working together, who
possess similar skills or use the same kind of knowledge, tools, or techniques to perform their jobs
![Page 24: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

similar jobs.– Easy for managers to monitor and evaluate
workers.– Allows managers to create the set of
functions they need in order to scan and monitor the competitive environment
![Page 26: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
10-26
Functional Structure
• Disadvantages– Difficult for departments to communicate
with others.– Preoccupation with own department and
losing sight of organizational goals.

10-30
Types of Divisional Structures
• Product Structure– Managers place each distinct product line or
business in its own self-contained division– Divisional managers have the responsibility
for devising an appropriate business-level strategy to allow the division to compete effectively in its industry
![Page 31: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
10-31
Product Structure

Matrix Design Structure
• Matrix Structure– An organizational structure that
simultaneously groups people and resources by function and product.
• Results in a complex network of superior-subordinate reporting relationships.
• The structure is very flexible and can respond rapidly to the need for change.
• Each employee has two bosses (functional manager and product manager) and possibly cannot satisfy both.

Tall and Flat Organizations
• Tall structures have many levels of authority and narrow spans of control.– As hierarchy levels increase,
communication gets difficult creating delays in the time being taken to implement decisions.
– Communications can also become distorted as it is repeated through the firm.
– Can become expensive
![Page 50: Managing Organizational Structure and Culture McGraw-Hill/Irwin Contemporary Management, 5/e Copyright © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051210/5513e9565503463a298b5c5c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
