THE PROCESS ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Journal of Management Studies, 1985, vol. 22, issue 1, 38-52

Abstract: The concept of the PROCESS ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE (P.O.S.) represents an attempt to take current systems‐oriented organizational theory one step further. The P.O.S. is viewed as an additional type of organizational structure, existing and operating in the organizational space, side by side and integratively with the formal and informal organizational structures. Its characteristics are identified and analyzed, and a multi‐dimensional process framework designed to fit all organizations is outlined. The framework's contribution to our understanding of organizational structure and dynamics is indicated, as well as its potential usefulness as a tool for theory and practice.
