Organization structure refers to how the organization is put together. Organization structure and design reflect some of the underlying ways that people interact with one another in and across jobs or departments. I learned that the structure of the organization must coincide with its goals and objectives. The allocation of duties, tasks and responsibilities between departments and individuals, an element of organization design, must also take the organizational goals and objectives into consideration. Organizations have traditionally structured themselves into three forms:
* Functional – the functional structure is the most widely used. The organizational chart resembles a pyramid with the senior management at he top, middle and lower managers spread out directly below, and workers at the bottom. The organization is usually subdivided into different functional units, such as engineering, research, operations, human resources, finance, and marketing.
* Self-contained Unit (Divisional) – the self-contained unit groups organizational activities on the basis of products, services, customers, programs, technical processes, or geography.
* Matrix – matrix structure is basically a combination of functional and self contained structures. The aim of organizations that adapt this structure is to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of both structures.
Organizational Development
Organizational development is important in the management of organizations. The goal of organizational development is personal, professional, and organizational growth. Organizational development is a planned process as well, one that occurs within the organization over a long period of time. Organizational development is viewed as a planned, data-based approach to change, involving goal setting, action planning, implementation, monitoring, and taking corrective action when necessary.
* Enhancing congruence between organizational structure, process, strategy, people and culture
* Developing new and creative organizational solutions
* Developing the organization’s self renewing capacity
