- 9. Structural Forms and Functions Blueprint for expectations and exchanges among internal and external players Design options are almost infinite Design needs to fit circumstances Studies go back and forth on whether people enjoy more choice or more structure (Moeller 1968) (Leavitt 1978)
- 10. Structural Forms and Functions Adler and Borys (1996) argue that structure is as important as the amount of rigidity. There are good rules and bad ones. Formal structure enhances moral if it helps us get our work done. It has a negative impact if it gets in our way, buries us in red tape, or makes it too easy for management to control us (p.69)
- 11. Basic Structural Tensions Differentiation: dividing work, division of labor Integration: coordinating efforts of different roles and units Suboptimization: When you create roles and units of specialization, you can lose sight of big picture (remember the Police/Fire Department illustration?)
- 12. Vertical coordination Authority (the boss makes the decision) Rules and policies Planning and control systems Performance control (focus on results) vs. action planning (focus on process) S.O.P. ?
- 14. Lateral Coordination Meetings Task Forces (bigger can mean you need more lateral face to face communication) Coordinating Roles (persuasion people that can go back and forth between specialized turfs) Matrix Structures Networks Strengths and Weaknesses of Lateral Strategies

- 22. I. Structural Configuration Mintzberg’s five-sector logo Operating core People who perform basic work (line workers) Administrative Component Managers/supervisors (line supervisor) Strategic Apex Focus on outside environment (executives) Techno structure Specialist/analysts (engineers) Support staff Perform tasks that facilitate work (secretaries)
- 23. I. Structural Configuration cont… Simple structure Two Levels: Strategic apex Operating level Start-up companies Virtues Structure is very flexible & adaptable One person directs the entire operation Vices Lack of strategic planning (boss too close to operations) Authority can block change
- 24. I. Structural Configuration cont… Machine bureaucracy Important decisions are made at the strategic apex Day-to-day operations are controlled by managers & SOPs Example: McDonalds Challenges: How to motivate employees and satisfy workers in the operating core Constant tension between headquarter and local managers Overcome challenges by: Permitting experimentation (Egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich)
- 25. I. Structural Configuration Professional Bureaucracy Characteristics: Operating core is larger than other structural parts Few managerial levels exist between the strategic apex and professors (flat organizational structure) Examples: Universities (EIU or U of Illinois) Challenges: Quality control and coordination Dealing with incompetence and irresponsibility Respond slow to change
- 26. I. Structural Configuration Divisionalized Form Work accomplished through quasi-autonomous units (multispecialty hospital) serving defined markets Division heads (presidents) are accountable to the corporate office As long as the division performs, they have free reign Benefits: Offer economies of scale Ample resources Responsive Challenges: Headquarters may lose touch with operations
- 27. I. Structural Configuration Adhocracy Loose, flexible, and organic structure Characteristics Don’t believe in hierarchy, rule books, dress codes, etc… Ambiguous authority structure Unclear objectives Contradictory assignments
- 28. II. Why Restructure? Environmental Shifts: A mandated shift can occur – as was the case of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, or Ma Bell or even more commonly now – AT&T. Technology Shifts: This may be one of the most profound reasons for restructuring in today’s fast paced techno-world. When is the last time that you walked into a Blockbuster Video store, played a game of solitaire with real cards, or made sure you had change in your pocket for a pay phone. Organizations Grow: When organizations outgrow the Mom & Pop stage of business, they need an organizational structure to support tasks, decisions, and authority to remain profitable. Leadership Changes: When new leaders step into existing organizations – there is often a “New sheriff in town, things are going to change mentality.”
- 29. III. Successful Restructure Why were these restructuring efforts successful? 1. Developed a new conception of the organizational goals and strategies 2. Carefully studied the existing structure and processes (had the complete picture) 3. Designed new structure in light of goals, technology, and environment 4. Experimented while retaining things that worked

- 44. Marshmallow Challenge Roles: Apex: You are in charge of making decisions and directing others. You do not directly produce work. Operator: You are a producer. No decisions. You are directed by others. Support Staff: You support the work of others. No decisions, or production. Techno-Structure/Middle Line: You coach operators and report to the Apex. No decisions, or production.

- 46. Structural Artifacts Share your artifact(s) with your group Focus on two artifacts to share with the class Choose one that works well within your structure Choose one that needs improvement Enjoy your Starbucks!
