Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 1 we depicted organizational design as a coherent bundle of different dimensions: structural organizational variables (SOVs, i.e. organizational depth measured by the total number of hierarchical levels, span of control, and allocation of decision authority) and work and human resource management practices (i.e. IWPs and HRMPs). In Chapters 2 and 3 we provided evidence as regards the static determinants of the structural dimensions of organizational design. In particular, Chapter 2 was devoted to the allocation of decision-making, while in Chapter 3 we discussed the determinants of corporate hierarchy.
