Organisation = formal group of people with 1 or more shared goals“Organon” Greek => toolProductivity, effectiveness of
employees/entire systemAny flaw – detrimental to the
health of the organisationInformation, accountability,
authority = blood in the network of veins of an organisation

Hierarchical structure
Small number
of
people have power
![Page 5: organisationstructure-1222071371869471-8](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022072008/55cf8fe8550346703ba11e93/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fluid system
Small systems operatingfreely within the whole company (subsidiaries)The ‘people/person’ culture exists for the ppl in it –
it’s in their own overriding interests to band together (family firm, university dep., music groups etc.)
Little formal organisation or structure, total flexibility, total interest in the work and in the mutual welfare (short period)

Hierarchical str-s within main str
Small hierarchies with the same
structure within the main hierarchical structure
(small number of people have power –
directors, managers of departments etc.)

Matrix structure
The Matrix represents the most fluid system – dots are individuals or groups
Can function on different levels according to the requirements of the task – project
![Page 8: organisationstructure-1222071371869471-8](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022072008/55cf8fe8550346703ba11e93/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Matrix structure
Pluses (loaning employees)
• Allows to share information more readily across task boundaries
• Allows for specialization that can increase depth of knowledge
Minuses:• Employees can get confused – conflicting
loyaltiesTo overcome: managers/parties must work closely
together
![Page 9: organisationstructure-1222071371869471-8](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022072008/55cf8fe8550346703ba11e93/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Spider-web structure
The most intricate/complicated structureThe power comes from
the centre, links on all levelsMinuses:• Bosses bypassed;• Power centres determine every detail• Chaos (nobody knows which authority they
have and over whom)• Accountability ( praise goes up, blame goes
down)• Sycophancy is rampant
