Organizational Structures reflects the level of growth and stage of the company or the organization. The four stages are: the emergent, the launch or growth, the consolidation and the mature (, ). stated that the three types of organizational structures are: the hierarchical structures, the team structures and the network structures. These said types of structures indicate on how the organization functions and how it is managed; how the information flows and process inside the organization; and how flexible or responsive the organization is ().
This is important because it will be used throughout the overall transactions of the company and organization that will eventually reflect to its overall performance and production.
Different companies and organizations require different types of organizational structures. It is chosen based on the present structure that is used as well as the areas that are in great need for new and improved structure.
Other public sector organizations such as PR or tourism bodies can deploy a more organic structure that will allow the business to be flexible and reduce the number of levels in the organizations structure. In this case the role of managers becomes one of empowerment, providing workers with the information, training, authority and accountability to excel.
Tom Burns and G. M. Stalker, (1961) are famous for establishing the distinction between mechanistic and organic approaches to organization and management. They illustrated that when change in environment becomes the order of the day, as when changing technological and market conditions pose new problems and challenges, open and flexible styles of organization and management are required (Morgan, 2006).
Management is seen to engineer an organizational culture and identity, which impels individuals to take responsibility to rationalize and intensify their own work activities, i.e. "to work smarter to work harder". The target of this control is not individuals' behavior, but their emotional commitments, modes of thinking and identities.
