Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses which overarching design measures management can put in place to make the de-facto decentralized structure one that reduces the costs of self-coordination as best as possible. Depending on the dimension along which management wants to delegate decision rights eventually, the chapter suggests design measures that can make the flatter structure more efficient: modularization to facilitate high delegation pertaining to task division and allocation; slack to facilitate decentralized autonomous rewards distribution; and voting, lateral authority, and arbitration to enable efficient decentralized exception management.
