Abstract: Abstract This chapter asks which corporate goal is best attained by which type of decentralized structure. Having established how we can make organizations work well that delegate either task division, task allocation, rewards distribution, information exchange, or exception management—or combinations thereof—to employees, this chapter seeks to answer how these different types of high-delegation setups serve different corporate goals. Drawing on both the scientific literature and case-based evidence from vanguard organizations featured in this book and elsewhere, the chapter links different types of flat structures to goals such as corporate creativity, speed, and attraction and retention of talent.
