Designing Organizational Structure
Organizing: the process by which managers
establish working relationships among
employees to achieve goals.
 Organizational Structure: formal system of task &
reporting relationships showing how workers use
resources.
 Organizational design: managers make specific choices
resulting in a given organizational structure.
Successful organizational design depends on
the organization’s unique situation.

Determinants of Structure
The environment: The quicker the environment
changes, the more problems face managers.
 Structure must be more flexible when environmental
change is rapid.
 Usually need to decentralize authority.
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.
8-5

Determinants of Structure
 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. Technology can be measured by:
 Task Variety: new problems a manager encounters.
 Task Analyzability: programmed solutions available to a
manager to solve problems.
 High task variety and low analyzability present many
unique problems to managers.
 Flexible structure works best in these conditions.
 Low task variety and high analyzability allow managers
to rely on established procedures.

Technology & People
Small Batch Technology: produces small quantities of
one-of-a-kind products.
 Based on the skills of the workers who need a flexible
structure.
Mass Production Technology: automated machines make
high volumes of standard products.
 Workers perform repetitive tasks so a formal structure
works well.
Continuous Process Technology: totally mechanized
systems of automatic machines.
 Workers must watch for unexpected problems and react
quickly. A flexible structure is needed here.
8-7
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Determinants of Structure
Human Resources: the final factor affecting
organizational structure.
 Higher skilled workers who need to work in teams
usually need a more flexible structure.
 Higher skilled workers often have professional
norms (CPA’s, physicians).
Managers must take into account all four
factors (environment, strategy, technology
and human resources) when designing the
structure of the organization.
8-8

Job Design
Job Design: group tasks into specific jobs.
 Results in a division of labor between workers that is
effective and efficient.
 Job simplification: reduction of the tasks each worker
performs.
 Too much and boredom results.
 Job enlargement: increase tasks for a given job to
reduce boredom.
 Job enrichment: increases the degree of responsibility
a worker has over a job.
 can lead to increased worker involvement.

Job Characteristics Model
Jobs have five characteristics describing extent of:
– Skill variety: employee uses a wide range of skills
– Task identity: worker involved in all tasks of job from
beginning to end of the production process
– Task significance: worker feels the task is meaningful to
organization.
– Autonomy: employee has freedom to schedule tasks and
carry them out.
– Feedback: worker gets direct information about how well
the job is done.
These affect the motivation, satisfaction and performance of
employees.

Grouping Jobs into Functions
Once tasks are grouped into jobs,
managers must decide how to group jobs
together.
 Function: people working together with similar
skills, tools or techniques to perform their jobs.
 Functional structure consists of departments such
as marketing, production, and finance.
 Workers can learn from others doing similar tasks.
 Easy for managers to monitor and evaluate workers.
 Hard for one department to communicate with others.
 Managers can become preoccupied with their department
and forget the firm

Divisional Structures
A division is a collection of functions working
together to produce a product.
 Divisions create smaller, manageable parts of a firm.
Divisions develop a business-level strategy to compete.
A division has marketing, finance, and other functions.
Functional managers report to divisional managers who then report to
corporate management.
 Product structure: divisions created according to the type
of product or service.
 Geographic structure: divisions based on the area of a
country or world served.
 Market structure: divisions based on the types of
customers served.

Global Structures
When managers find different problems or
demands across the globe, global solutions are
needed.
 Global geographic structure: different divisions serve
each world region.
 For customer needs that vary between regions.
 Global product structure: Customers in different regions
buy similar products so firms keep most functional work
at home and set up a division to market product abroad.
8-18
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Matrix & Product Teams
 Matrix structure: managers group people by function
and product teams simultaneously.
 Results in a complex network of reporting relationships.
 Very flexible and can respond rapidly to change.
 Each employee has two bosses which can cause
problems.
 Functional manager gives different directions than
product manager and employee cannot satisfy both.
 Product Team Structure: no 2-way reporting and the
members are permanently assigned to the team and
empowered to bring a product to market.

Hybrid Structures
Many large organizations have divisional
structures where each manager can select the
best structure for that particular division.
 One division may use a functional structure, one
geographic, and so on.
This ability to break a large organization into
many smaller ones makes it much easier to
manage.
8-22
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Coordinating Functions
To ensure sufficient coordination between
functions, managers delegate authority.
 Authority: the power vested in the manager to make
decisions and use resources.
 Hierarchy of authority: describes the relative
authority each manager has from top to bottom.
 Span of Control: refers to the number of workers a
manager manages.
 Line authority: managers in the direct chain of
command for production of goods or services. Example:
Sales
 Staff authority: managers in positions that give advice
to line managers. Example: Legal
8-23
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Tall & Flat Organizations
 Tall structures have many levels of authority relative to
the organization’s size.
 As levels in the hierarchy increase, communication gets
difficult.
 The extra levels result in more time being taken to
implement decisions.
 Communications can also become garbled as it is
repeated through the firm.
 Flat structures have few levels but wide spans of
control.
 Results in quick communications but can lead to
overworked managers.
8-24
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Minimum Chain of Command
 Managers should carefully evaluate:
 Do they have the right number of middle managers?
 Can the structure be altered to reduce levels?
Centralized v. Decentralized
 Decentralized operations puts more authority at lower
levels and leads to flat organizations.
 Workers must be able to reach decisions.
 Divisions and functions can begin to lose sight of
organizational goals and focus only on their small area.
8-25
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Integrating Mechanisms
 Direct contact: get managers from different divisions or
functions together to solve mutual problems.
 Liaison Roles: one manager in each area is responsible
for communication with other areas.
 Task Forces: temporary committees formed across
divisions to solve a specific problem.
 Cross-functional teams: works much like a permanent
task force that deals with recurring problems.
 Matrix structure: already contains many integrating
mechanisms.
8-26
Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000
Strategic Alliances
Strategic alliance: a formal agreement
committing two or more firms to exchange
resources to produce a good.
Network Structure: a whole series of strategic
alliances.
 Created between suppliers, manufacturers, and
distributors.
 Toyota and Honda use many such alliances.
 Network structures allow firms to bring resources
together in a boundary-less organization.

  • 1. 8-1 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Organizational Structure 8
  • 2. 8-2 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Designing Organizational Structure Organizing: the process by which managers establish working relationships among employees to achieve goals.  Organizational Structure: formal system of task & reporting relationships showing how workers use resources.  Organizational design: managers make specific choices resulting in a given organizational structure. Successful organizational design depends on the organization’s unique situation.
  • 3. 8-3 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Factors Affecting Organizational Design Environment Strategy Human Resources Technology Determine design or organizational structure Determine design or organizational structure Figure 8.1
  • 4. 8-4 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Determinants of Structure The environment: The quicker the environment changes, the more problems face managers.  Structure must be more flexible when environmental change is rapid.  Usually need to decentralize authority. 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.
  • 5. 8-5 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Determinants of Structure  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. Technology can be measured by:  Task Variety: new problems a manager encounters.  Task Analyzability: programmed solutions available to a manager to solve problems.  High task variety and low analyzability present many unique problems to managers.  Flexible structure works best in these conditions.  Low task variety and high analyzability allow managers to rely on established procedures.
  • 6. 8-6 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Technology & People Small Batch Technology: produces small quantities of one-of-a-kind products.  Based on the skills of the workers who need a flexible structure. Mass Production Technology: automated machines make high volumes of standard products.  Workers perform repetitive tasks so a formal structure works well. Continuous Process Technology: totally mechanized systems of automatic machines.  Workers must watch for unexpected problems and react quickly. A flexible structure is needed here.
  • 7. 8-7 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Determinants of Structure Human Resources: the final factor affecting organizational structure.  Higher skilled workers who need to work in teams usually need a more flexible structure.  Higher skilled workers often have professional norms (CPA’s, physicians). Managers must take into account all four factors (environment, strategy, technology and human resources) when designing the structure of the organization.
  • 8. 8-8 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Job Design Job Design: group tasks into specific jobs.  Results in a division of labor between workers that is effective and efficient.  Job simplification: reduction of the tasks each worker performs.  Too much and boredom results.  Job enlargement: increase tasks for a given job to reduce boredom.  Job enrichment: increases the degree of responsibility a worker has over a job.  can lead to increased worker involvement.

  • 10. 8-10 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Job Characteristics Model Jobs have five characteristics describing extent of: – Skill variety: employee uses a wide range of skills – Task identity: worker involved in all tasks of job from beginning to end of the production process – Task significance: worker feels the task is meaningful to organization. – Autonomy: employee has freedom to schedule tasks and carry them out. – Feedback: worker gets direct information about how well the job is done. These affect the motivation, satisfaction and performance of employees.
  • 11. 8-11 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Grouping Jobs into Functions Once tasks are grouped into jobs, managers must decide how to group jobs together.  Function: people working together with similar skills, tools or techniques to perform their jobs.  Functional structure consists of departments such as marketing, production, and finance.  Workers can learn from others doing similar tasks.  Easy for managers to monitor and evaluate workers.  Hard for one department to communicate with others.  Managers can become preoccupied with their department and forget the firm ProsProsProsPros ConsConsConsCons

  • 13. 8-13 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Divisional Structures A division is a collection of functions working together to produce a product.  Divisions create smaller, manageable parts of a firm. Divisions develop a business-level strategy to compete. A division has marketing, finance, and other functions. Functional managers report to divisional managers who then report to corporate management.  Product structure: divisions created according to the type of product or service.  Geographic structure: divisions based on the area of a country or world served.  Market structure: divisions based on the types of customers served.

  • 17. 8-17 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Global Structures When managers find different problems or demands across the globe, global solutions are needed.  Global geographic structure: different divisions serve each world region.  For customer needs that vary between regions.  Global product structure: Customers in different regions buy similar products so firms keep most functional work at home and set up a division to market product abroad.
  • 18. 8-18 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Matrix & Product Teams  Matrix structure: managers group people by function and product teams simultaneously.  Results in a complex network of reporting relationships.  Very flexible and can respond rapidly to change.  Each employee has two bosses which can cause problems.  Functional manager gives different directions than product manager and employee cannot satisfy both.  Product Team Structure: no 2-way reporting and the members are permanently assigned to the team and empowered to bring a product to market.

  • 21. 8-21 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Hybrid Structures Many large organizations have divisional structures where each manager can select the best structure for that particular division.  One division may use a functional structure, one geographic, and so on. This ability to break a large organization into many smaller ones makes it much easier to manage.
  • 22. 8-22 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Coordinating Functions To ensure sufficient coordination between functions, managers delegate authority.  Authority: the power vested in the manager to make decisions and use resources.  Hierarchy of authority: describes the relative authority each manager has from top to bottom.  Span of Control: refers to the number of workers a manager manages.  Line authority: managers in the direct chain of command for production of goods or services. Example: Sales  Staff authority: managers in positions that give advice to line managers. Example: Legal
  • 23. 8-23 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Tall & Flat Organizations  Tall structures have many levels of authority relative to the organization’s size.  As levels in the hierarchy increase, communication gets difficult.  The extra levels result in more time being taken to implement decisions.  Communications can also become garbled as it is repeated through the firm.  Flat structures have few levels but wide spans of control.  Results in quick communications but can lead to overworked managers.
  • 24. 8-24 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Minimum Chain of Command  Managers should carefully evaluate:  Do they have the right number of middle managers?  Can the structure be altered to reduce levels? Centralized v. Decentralized  Decentralized operations puts more authority at lower levels and leads to flat organizations.  Workers must be able to reach decisions.  Divisions and functions can begin to lose sight of organizational goals and focus only on their small area.
  • 25. 8-25 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Integrating Mechanisms  Direct contact: get managers from different divisions or functions together to solve mutual problems.  Liaison Roles: one manager in each area is responsible for communication with other areas.  Task Forces: temporary committees formed across divisions to solve a specific problem.  Cross-functional teams: works much like a permanent task force that deals with recurring problems.  Matrix structure: already contains many integrating mechanisms.
  • 26. 8-26 Irwin/McGraw-Hill ©The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 2000 Strategic Alliances Strategic alliance: a formal agreement committing two or more firms to exchange resources to produce a good. Network Structure: a whole series of strategic alliances.  Created between suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors.  Toyota and Honda use many such alliances.  Network structures allow firms to bring resources together in a boundary-less organization.
