Abstract: Abstract Building on the insights gained in Chaps. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and 8 , this chapter suggests which type of structure to design, which employees to involve, and how to treat them given a realistic corporate goal. It distinguishes between two main scenarios—one in which a large, traditionally managed company seeks to delayer its hierarchy, and one in which a startup wants to retain its working environment and grow in a flat manner. Practical decision-making trees help executives go through the process in stepwise fashion. Testing the explanatory power of these trees on the case studies provided in Chap. 1 helps readers appreciate their explanatory power.
