Part of organization + Mechanism Coordination
When one individual gives specific orders to others to coordinate their work, they are using the mechanism of:
Direct Supervision
This environment is linked with Dynamic Structures
Organic Environment
A decentralized, bureaucratic organizational structure commonly found in school systems, accounting firms, and craft manufacturing firms that relies heavily on the standardization of skills.
Professional Bureaucracy
The chain of the command is laid over the chain of operations.
Chain Philosophy
Visual maps that demonstrate how a place works by depicting critical interactions among people, products, and information are called ________.
Organigraphs
The top general managers of an organization and their personal staff are known as this
Strategic apex
Parameter for determining the division of labor: concerns the number of tasks and the breadth of each in a given position.
What is Horizontal Job Specialization
A highly organic structure common with young or small organizations, with a loose division of labor and little formalization or standardization. Commonly centralized and run under direct supervision.
Simple Structure
Managers stay away from the action, watching and comparing - ultimately deciding who gets what resource
Set Philosophy
The two conventional components of an organigraph are the ___, or categorized items, such as machines or people, and the _____, which connects that categorized items together to create a linear managerial relationship.
Set and chain
This mechanism of coordination is dependent on individuals communicating informally with one another.
Mutual adjustment
Scheduling new products to be introduced in December is an example of:
Action Planning
An organic structure with extensive horizontal job specialization and little differentiation between staff and line managers. Usually functions through experts from various specialties coming together through project teams.
Adhocracy
When an employee - not necessarily in a formal authoritative position - becomes the manager by coordinating the array of services that converge.
Hub Philosophy
Organigraphs are a modern form of this original method of visualizing company management relationships.
Organizational charts
While the standardization of work processes uses guiding rules and regulations for an organization's work, this form of standardization used internalized individual skills and knowledge before the work even begins.
Standardization of Skills
Effective structuring requires a close fit between the contingency factor and design parameter.
Congruence Hypothesis
Relies primarily on the standardization of work processes and the technostructure. Formalized, highly specialized, and common with mass production firms.
Machine Bureaucracy
Managers move around - facilitate collaboration - out in the field; working to energize the network (fluidly)
Web Philosophy
The core of knowledge, skills, or resources a company has, as well as its business development ventures, are known as ____________.
Competencies
Accountants, work schedulers, and long-range planners serve as examples of this part of an organization.
Technostructures
When informal power flows selectively to the analysts of the technostructure who play major roles in standardizing everyone else's work, while formal power remains at the strategic apex.
Limited horizontal decentralization
Market based structure with limited, parallel vertical decentralization and little coordination amongst its different sectors. Run by one main headquarters that practices standardization of outputs to ensure equal performance through quantitative measures.
Divisionalized firm
These philosophies are examples of a more bureaucratic system
Set + Chain Philosophies
Organigraphs can be used to understand company management systems in a way that goes beyond viewing company management as a linear chain of command. This traditional view of company management is known as ________________.
