Chapter Chapter 4 in Strategy for Action – II, 2013, pp 89-100 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the companies’ organizational and structural design, starting from the basic organizational structures that represent the firm’s architecture. Then, we highlight the essential elements for designing or upgrading an organizational structure, such as the division of labor, the coordination mechanisms, and the formation of organizational units. We also discuss how strategic choices and changes can affect structure, technology, human resources policies and interorganizational linkages. At the same time, we analyze how the current organizational contexts may affect and constrain the definition of goals and the related strategic decisions and changes. Finally, we address the issues of ownership versus transaction alternatives, and the various forms of agreements and cooperation among firms.
