It can be described as a structure, a process, and as a group. As a Structure - according to Kast and Rosenzweig, is the established pattern or relationships among the component parts of the organization. CENTRALIZED VS DECENTRALIZED Centralized- Long and specific hierarchy of superiors and subordinates. Decentralized- Decision-making power is distributed among various levels of the organization. A Traditional Hierarchical Structure is typical for larger businesses and organizations. It relies on having different levels of authority with a chain of command connecting multiple management levels within the organization. The decision-making process is typically formal and flows from the top down. A functional organizational structure is a team structure that groups employees into different departments based on areas of expertise. This type of structure is one of the most common types in business, especially in larger companies, where groups of employees are organized according to the function they perform A flat organizational structure is one with limited management levels between the top business leadership and the ground-level employees. Employees may report directly to the business owner or answer to only one or two levels of management who oversee all of the team members. A divisional structure is a common organizational framework that groups business activities based on products, services, geographical locations, or markets. Each division within this structure operates as a semi-autonomous entity equipped with its own set of resources and functions. The purpose of a divisional organizational structure is to provide a targeted focus on specific products, regions, or markets, thereby increasing efficiency and agility. A matrix organization is a company structure where teams report to multiple leaders. The matrix design keeps open communication between teams and can help companies create more innovative products and services. Using this structure prevents teams from needing to realign every time a new project begins. -Traditional departments -Project teams across functional areas -Temporary or permanent -Utilises skills within the organisation -Effective communication -Increased morale As a Process- refers to certain dynamic aspects like what tasks are to be done, who is to do them, how the tasks are to be grouped, who is to report to whom and where the decisions have to be made. As a Group - is a collection of interacting and interdependent individuals who work toward common goals whose relationships are determined according to a certain structure.
