4. 1.2 Motivation and research question
Master data management (MDM) is referred to as an application-independent
process for the description, ownership and management of core business
data entities1,2
Establishing MDM is a Business Engineering3 task comprising design
activities on strategic organizational and system levelactivities on strategic, organizational and system level
In doing so, companies are confronted with the following questions:
What is the scope in terms of master data classes?
Which tasks does the MDM organization cover?
How much capacity in terms of human resources is required to carry out the
tasks?
Whom does the MDM organization report to?
How should responsibilities be balanced between central and local control?
How do firms organize MDM?

6. 2.2 Background: Organizational theory
The two major tasks of organizational design are the division of labor and
coordination1
The organization of a company materializes in its organizational structure and
in the process organization1
Grochla divides the goals of an organization into functional goalsGrochla divides the goals of an organization into functional goals
(“Sachziele”) and formal goals (“Formalziele”)2
One can distinguish between primary and secondary organizations

7. 2.3 Research approach
Project context is the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ)
Surveys objective is of descriptive naturey j p
Online questionnaire covering nine questions was used
Closed questions (except one for master data volumes) were used
Sample consisted of 38 experts in the MDM domain from the e-mail
distribution list of the CC CDQ
Return rate was 50 percentReturn rate was 50 percent
Questions aimed at answer the following:
Is MDM part of the primary organization and - if so - where is it located in the
organizational structure?
What organizational from has been chosen (line function, shared service etc.)?
What are the functional goals (in terms of tasks)?g ( )
What is the scope (in terms of number master data classes such as customer data,
material data etc. and of number of master data records)?
How many employees work in the MDM organization (both central and local)?How many employees work in the MDM organization (both central and local)?

15. 4.1 Discussion and outlook
Discussion
Results provide first insight into current status of organizing master data
tmanagement
Results are descriptive and form a starting point for future research
Limitations are due to the nature of expert interviews as a researchLimitations are due to the nature of expert interviews as a research
method1:
Intentionally selected individuals rather than random selection of
lsample
Typically small number of respondents
Outlook to future researchOutlook to future research
