2 3 Theories of Organizations
Classical Theory 4 Basic components to any Organization System of differentiated activities People Cooperation toward a goal Authority Neoclassical Theory Critique of the 4 structural principles of classical Theory Functional Scalar Line/Staff Span of control System theory 5 parts of an organization Individuals Formal org. Small groups Status & Roles Physical setting

3 Main teachings of the Classical Theory:
1. Basic components: A system of differentiated activities, People, Cooperation toward a goal, Authority. 2. Structural principle: Functional, Scalar (Unity of command), Line/staff, and Span of Control principle.

4 Division of labor decreases job meaning
Neoclassical Theorists did not agree with classical theorists in many ways e.g. Division of labor decreases job meaning Value of distinction between line and staff Span of control is more than a number Not only formal authority can influence people

5 Components of an Open System
Environment Matter / energy return Matter / energy Matter / energy Transformation Inputs Outputs Information Information Feedback Environment

6 System Theory Organizational System is composed of: Individuals, Formal Organization, Small Groups, Status and Role, Physical Setting All parts in the system are interactive in order to achieve coordinated goals of the system.

7 Reorganizing and downsizing
When environment changes, organizations do too in response. Job losses, more work less employees, stresses, wider span of control Who are affected? Those in the middle line, supporting staffs, and technostructure.

8 Structural properties by which the organization to reach its goal.
Functional principle, divide into units that perform similar function Scalar principle (chain of command), unity of command Line/staff functions Span of control, number of subordinates a manager is responsible for supervising.

9 Organizational Structure
Structure: the sum total of ways in which its labor is divided into distinct tasks and then its coordination is achieved among these tasks. Five coordinating mechanisms have been proposed to explain the fundamental ways in which organizations coordinate their work. They are the glue that holds organization together.
