Organizational Design

Abstract

Organizational design is concerned with aligning critical elements of the organization with situational factors facing the firm to affect a criterion (or criteria) of interest. Major perspectives on design can be classified as either classical or contingency approaches. Classical theories advocate universalistic prescriptions concerning design. Contingency approaches argue that appropriate choices of design depend on factors like technology, environmental uncertainty or information-processing needs. The central concept in modern organizational design is the fit between these organizational and situational variables. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
