The Value of Organizational Structures

Concurrent Engineering, 2009
Mathematical models are developed using the maximum expected payoff method to determine the value of organizational structures. An information modeling approach is used to study the value added by lateral information sharing and intensity of interaction to a functional hierarchy for new product development (NPD). Similarly, a model is developed for the

The article attempts to define the principle of the simplicity of the organizational structure and its determinants. It has been established that abiding by the principle of simplicity means minimizing the level of structural characteristics (such as hierarchy, centralization, specialization and formalization), as well as increasing the transparency of

A Conceptual Structure for Organizational Learning and Organizational Performance

Seventh IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT 2007), 2007
This paper constructs a conceptual structure for organizational learning and organizational performance based on the core competitive capability view. Based on the research of organizational learning process, we use the core learning capability as the clue and provide a path that how is the organizational learning interdependent with innovation, market,

On the Relationship Between Organizational Complexity and Organizational Structuration

Organization Science, 2004
This article represents a contribution to the conceptualization of organizational complexity. The first part of the article relates the concept of complexity to the production tasks of the organization by deriving measures of the complexity of production and planning tasks within the organization.

The Emergence of Organizational Structures

1995
In this paper we present results which show how organizational structures can emerge from the iteration of simple rules of local interaction among individual agents in the absence of any central coordination. In this framework, agents are seen as local information processing units performing a complex collective computation simply by responding to the ...

Organizational Structures

American Behavioral Scientist, 1994
Measures of coordination and control techniques—including structural complexity, formalization, decentralization, and firm internal labor markets—are related to one another in theoretically anticipated ways for the diverse set of establishments in the National Organizations Study.

Organizational Technology and Organizational Structure

Administrative Science Quarterly, 1971
Contrary to impressions that might be obtained from the literature on technology and structure, there is not a great deal of reliable evidence that the social structure of organizations is strongly affected by technology. The present research finds a very weak relationship between technological manageability and subordinate participation in decision ...

Asymmetries in Organizational Structures

2014
Relationships in organizational structures are frequently asymmetric (e.g., the number of e-mail messages that an employee sends to a colleague is usually different from the number of e-mail messages he received from that colleague). So organizational data are usually represented by asymmetric square matrices that cannot be analyzed by standard ...
