II. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
There are two main classifications of theories regarding organizational
design(how management achieves the right combination of differentiation

uncertainty in its external environment). According to Robbins & Coulter(2009):


Traditional and Modern Traditional pertains to the usual or old fashion ways
while modern refers to contemporary or new design theories.

Traditional Theories include:

Simple

This organizational design has a few departments, wide spans of


control, or a big number of subordinates directly reporting to a manager: has
a centralized authority figure and has very little formalization of work: usually
used by companies that start as entrepreneurial ventures.

Simple Organizational Design


Strengths Weaknesses
Flexible The risk that
Fast decision-making and overdependence with over-
result dependence on a single
Clear accountability person
No longer appropriate as
the company grows

Functional

This organizational design groups together similar or related specialties.


Jobs are grouped in departments with the specified skills and/or business
functions.

Example of the functional organization includes:

a. An English department for a particular school teaches all the English subject
regardless of what grade level the students are.
b. The municipal water district is responsible for all the water needs in a
particular town.
c. The purchasing department of an enterprise buys all the materials, supplies,
and other resources required by an enterprise, whether these inputs are
required by marketing, finance, accounting, human resources, or other
departments.

Functional Organizational Design
Strengths Weaknesses
Cost-saving advantages Managers have little
Management is facilitated
because workers with similar function
tasks are grouped.

Divisional

This organizational design is made up of separate business divisions or


units, where the parent corporation acts as overseer to coordinate and control
the different divisions and provide financial and legal support services.

Example of the divisional organization includes

1. NORSU set up university branches located in the different towns in Negros


Oriental.
2.
services of each barangay in the town.

Divisional Organizational Design


Strengths Weaknesses
Focused on results Possible duplication of
Managers are responsible activities and resources
for what happens to their Increased cost and
products and services reduced efficiency

Modern Theories include:

Team Design
This organizational design is made up of workgroups or teams. They define
team structures such as roles and responsibilities, and they collaboratively
identify working arrangements that allow their team to deliver on their purpose
and goals.

Team Organizational Design


Strengths Weaknesses
Better Communication Potential conflict
Teams Resolve Problems Some people are not team
Quicker players

3
Flexible and Empowered Under-performing
Workforce employees hide behind
Empowerment of team the team
members and reduced
barriers among functional
areas

Matrix-Project Design

This refers to an organization design where specialists from different


departments work on projects that are supervised by a project manager. This
design results in a double chain of command wherein workers have two
managers - their functional area manager and their project manager-who
share authority over them.

Matrix-Project Organizational Design


Strengths Weaknesses
A specialist is involved in the Task and personality
project conflicts
Increased communication The potential conflict
efficiency between managers and
Improved employee projects
motivation Authority confusion
Increased teamwork Reduced employees
Maximize resource usage effectiveness

development overhead costs

Project design
It refers to an organizational design where employees continuously work on a
project.

Project Organizational Design


Strengths Weaknesses
Flexible designs Task and personality
Fast decision making conflict

4
Boundary-less Design

This refers to an organization design where the design is not defined or limited
by vertical, horizontal, and external boundaries. There are no hierarchical
levels that separate employees, no departmentalization, and no boundaries
that separate the organization from customers, suppliers, and other
stakeholders. The key to this design is electronic communication, where
information is shared with the member enterprise with distinct competencies.

Boundary-less Organizational Design


Strengths Weaknesses
Highly flexible Lack of control
Responsive and draws on Presents communication
talent where it is found difficulties
