Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education 5 Chapter Organizational Structure and Culture Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education Learning Objectives Describe six key elements in organizational design Identify the contingency factors that favor the mechanistic model or the organic model Compare and contrast traditional and contemporary organizational designs Discuss the characteristics and importance of organizational culture Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education What Is Organizing? Organizing The function of management that creates the organization’s structure ( help in facilitating goals and activities within the org) Organizational Design When managers develop or change the organization’s structure ( six elements) Once the organization’s goals, plans, and strategies are in place, managers must develop a structure that will best facilitate the attainment of those goals. Recall from Chapter 1 that we defined organizing as the function of management that creates the organization’s structure. When managers develop or change the organization’s structure, they’re engaging in organizational design. Work specialization is dividing work activities into separate job tasks. Individual employees “specialize” in doing part of an activity rather than the entire activity in order to increase work output. It’s also known as division of labor.

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education Work specialization Work Specialization Dividing work activities into separate job tasks; individual employees specialize in doing part of an activity rather than the entire activity in order to increase work output( also called division of labor. efficient use of the diversity of skills. differentiation in wages. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education At some point, the human diseconomies from division of labor surface as boredom, fatigue, stress, low productivity, poor quality, increased absenteeism, and high turnover exceed the economic advantages (see Exhibit 5-1) Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

What Is Departmentalization? How jobs are grouped together Functional Departmentalization Grouping activities by functions performed Product Departmentalization Grouping activities by major product areas Customer Departmentalization Grouping activities by customer( ex; law firms) How jobs are grouped together is called departmentalization. There are five common forms of departmentalization (see Exhibit 5-2) although an organization may use its own unique classification. No single method of departmentalization was advocated by the early writers. The method or methods used should reflect the grouping that would best contribute to the attainment of the goals of the organization and the individual units. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Departmentalization (cont.) Geographic Departmentalization Grouping activities on the basis of geography or territory( local and internationally based) Process Departmentalization Grouping activities on the basis of work or customer flow( ex; getting an ID) Cross-functional Teams( new-trend) Teams made up of individuals from various departments and that cross traditional departmental lines A recent trend is the use of cross-functional teams, which are teams made up of individuals from various departments and that cross traditional departmental lines Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

What Are Authority and Responsibility? Chain of Command The line of authority extending from upper organizational levels to lower levels, which clarifies who reports to whom Authority The rights inherent in a managerial position to give orders and expect the orders to be obeyed Responsibility An obligation to perform assigned duties To understand authority and responsibility, you also have to be familiar with the chain of command, the line of authority extending from upper organizational levels to lower levels, which clarifies who reports to whom Authority refers to the rights inherent in a managerial position to give orders and expect the orders to be obeyed When managers delegate authority, they must allocate commensurate responsibility That is, when employees are given rights, they also assume a corresponding obligation to perform Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

What are Different Types of Authority Relationships? Line Authority Authority that entitles a manager to direct the work of an employee Staff Authority Positions with some authority that have been created to support, assist, and advise those holding line authority Line authority entitles a manager to direct the work of an employee. It is the employer–employee authority relationship that extends from the top of the organization to the lowest echelon, according to the chain of command, as shown in Exhibit 5-3. As organizations get larger and more complex, line managers find that they do not have the time, expertise, or resources to get their jobs done effectively. In response, they create staff authority functions to support, assist, advise, and generally reduce some of their informational burdens. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education Exhibit 5-4 illustrates line and staff authority Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education What is Power? Authority goes with the job, but Power refers to an individual’s capacity to influence decisions. Authority is part of the larger concept of power Pg 157 only type of power Authority goes with the job. Power, on the other hand, refers to an individual’s capacity to influence decisions. Authority is part of the larger concept of power. That is, the formal rights that come with an individual’s position in the organization are just one means by which an individual can affect the decision process Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education French and Raven identified five sources, or bases, of power: coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent. We summarize them in Exhibit 5-6. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education What Is Span of Control? Span of Control The number of employees a manager can efficiently and effectively supervise How many employees a manager can supervise?? How many employees can a manager efficiently and effectively supervise? This question of span of control received a great deal of attention from early management writers. Although early writers came to no consensus on a specific number, most favored small spans— typically no more than six workers—in order to maintain close control Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education What Is Formalization? Formalization How standardized an organization’s jobs are and the extent to which employee behavior is guided by rules and procedures Centralization The degree to which decision making takes place at upper levels of the organization( early mngt Decentralization The degree to which lower-level managers provide input or actually make decisions( latest trend Formalization refers to how standardized an organization’s jobs are and the extent to which employee behavior is guided by rules and procedures. Centralization is the degree to which decision making takes place at upper levels of the organization. Decentralization is the degree to which lower-level managers provide input or actually make decisions. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

What Contingency Variables Affect Structural Choice? Mechanistic Organization A bureaucratic organization; a structure that’s high in specialization, formalization, and centralization Organic Organization A structure that’s low in specialization, formalization, and centralization The mechanistic organization (or bureaucracy) was the natural result of combining the six elements of structure. Adhering to the chain-of-command principle ensured the existence of a formal hierarchy of authority, with each person controlled and supervised by one superior. The organic organization is a highly adaptive form that is as loose and flexible as the mechanistic organization is rigid and stable. Rather than having standardized jobs and regulations, the organic organization’s loose structure allows it to change rapidly as required Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

How Does strategy, size, environment and Technology Affect Structure? Stable environment / dynamic uncertain environment Large org/ small org Org seeking innovation/ org wanting to tightly control costs How advanced the technology they are using Every organization uses some form of technology to convert its inputs into outputs. Joan Woodward divided the firms into three distinct technologies that had increasing levels of complexity and sophistication. The first category, unit production, described the production of items in units or small batches. The second category, mass production, described large-batch manufacturing. Finally, the third and most technically complex group, process production, included continuous-process production. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Organizational design- simple structure An organizational design with low departmentalization, wide spans of control, authority centralized in a single person, and little formalization Most companies start as entrepreneurial ventures using a simple structure, which is an organizational design with low departmentalization, wide spans of control, authority centralized in a single person, and little formalization. The simple structure is most widely used in smaller businesses and its strengths should be obvious. It’s fast, flexible, and inexpensive to maintain, and accountability is clear. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Traditional Organizational Designs Functional Structure An organizational design that groups similar or related occupational specialties together Divisional Structure An organizational structure made up of separate business units or divisions ( the main company acts as an external supervisor) A functional structure is an organizational design that groups similar or related occupational specialties together. The divisional structure is an organizational structure made up of separate business units or divisions.29 In this structure, each division has limited autonomy, with a division manager who has authority over his or her unit and is responsible for performance. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education When designing a structure, managers may choose one of the traditional organizational designs. These structures—simple, functional, and divisional—tend to be more mechanistic in nature. (See Exhibit 5-9 for a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of each.) Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Contemporary Organizational Structures Team Structure A structure in which the entire organization is made up of work teams( divisional or functional Matrix Structure A structure in which specialists from different functional departments are assigned to work on projects led by a project manager Project Structure A structure in which employees continuously work on projects Team structure is one in which the entire organization is made up of work teams that do the organization’s work. In this structure, employee empowerment is crucial because there is no line of managerial authority from top to bottom The matrix structure assigns specialists from different functional departments to work on projects led by a project manager. When employees finish work on an assigned project, they go back to their functional departments. Instead of a matrix structure, many organizations are using a project structure, in which employees continuously work on projects. Unlike the matrix structure, a project structure has no formal departments where employees return at the completion of a projects Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Contemporary Designs (cont.) Boundaryless Organization An organization whose design is not defined by, or limited to, boundaries imposed by a predefined structure Virtual Organization An organization that consists of a small core of full-time employees and outside specialists temporarily hired as needed to work on projects. Another contemporary organizational design is the boundaryless organization, which is an organization whose design is not defined by, or limited to, the horizontal, vertical, or external boundaries imposed by a predefined structure. A virtual organization consists of a small core of full-time employees and outside specialists temporarily hired as needed to work on projects Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Contemporary Designs (cont.) Network Organization An organization that uses its own employees to do some work activities and networks of outside suppliers to provide other needed product components or work processes Another structural option for managers wanting to minimize or eliminate organizational boundaries is a network organization, which is one that uses its own employees to do some work activities and networks of outside suppliers to provide other needed product components or work processes. This organizational form is sometimes called a modular organization by manufacturing firms Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Today’s Organizational Challenges Learning Organization An organization that has developed the capacity to continuously learn, adapt, and change A learning organization is an organization that has developed the capacity to continuously learn, adapt, and change. The concept of a learning organization doesn’t involve a specific organizational design per se, but instead describes an organizational mind-set or philosophy that has significant design implications Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

What is Organizational Culture? The shared values, principles, traditions, and ways of doing things that influence the way organizational members act Organizational culture has been described as the shared values, principles, traditions, and ways of doing things that influence the way organizational members act. In most organizations, these shared values and practices have evolved over time and determine, to a large extent, how “things are done around here. Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education

How Does Culture Influence Structure? Strong Cultures Organizational cultures in which the key values are deeply held and widely shared An organization’s culture may have an effect on its structure, depending on how strong, or weak, the culture is. Strong cultures—those in which the key values are deeply held and widely shared—have a greater influence on employees than do weaker cultures. The more employees accept the organization’s key values and the greater their commitment to those values, the stronger the culture is Copyright ©2011 Pearson Education
