  • The most common reason for organizational failure is POOR MANAGEMENT
  • A good system of management is the key
    to success and profitability. And the key
    to a good management system is an
    ORGANIZED MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
  • Failure to adapt the organization structure, policies, and procedures to the growth in size and complexity of the enterprise leads to stagnation or failure.
  • MAIN TYPES OF MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE:
    1. Simple Management Structure
    2. Divisional & Matrix Mgt. Structure
    3. Professional Bureaucracy & adhocracy
  • MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
    It also considers environmental factors,
    technology, culture, & measure of
    effectiveness.
  • Delegation is entrusting others with
    responsibility and authority in work,
    creating accountability for results.
  • Lines of Authority: - represents the chain
    of command. This determines “Who is
    in-charge of making decisions”
  • Lines of Responsibility: - determines “who
    is responsible for whom” and “who is
    responsible to whom”. It must be FIXED
    and CLEAR.
  • The degree of control within an organization help determine the levels of which higher authorities, as well as subordinates, in an organization assume responsibility
    and authority.
  • Drivers Of Effective Management:
    Available Personnel
    Span of Control
    Leadership Potential in Subordinates
  • FACILITATION - the process of designing
    and running a successful, productive
    meeting;
  • COORDINATION - unification, integration,
    & synchronization of the efforts of group
    members to provide unity of action in the
    pursuit of common goals
  • Line Organization Structure
    In this example, you can see
    the simplicity and
    straight-forwardness of the
    structure. The division of
    authority and responsibility can
    clearly be seen. Also, there is a
    clear channel of
    communication
  • Line Organization Structure
  • Line & Staff Organization
    In this example, we can see
    that the initial line structure
    was enhanced by providing
    specialized staff positions
    like the employment manager
    and the process engineer
    which can aid and give
    counsel to the superintendent
    and foreman
  • Line & Staff Organization
  • Functional (Pure) Organization
    This example shows that in a functional
    organization structure, all the different
    clerks are given authority over all three
    worker types, which means that they can
    all give responsibilities to them. In this,
    the dilemma of the multiplicity of bosses
    and blurred lines of authority and
    responsibility can cause more harm than
    good within the organization.
  • Functional (Pure) Organization
  • Line and Functional
    Staff Organization
    -In this example, we can see that the
    structure of the organization gives
    importance on setting limits and
    boundaries to each role, allowing
    managerial roles to prioritize executive
    training and responsibilities, and staff
    roles to further their specialized
    knowledge.
  • Line and Functional Staff Organization
  • Committees - are formed for the performance of special
    duties in the company. They may either be permanent
    (standing) or may be organized to serve a temporary
    function only (ad hoc). The image above shows the
    location of committees within the organization
