Structural Frame / Lens
The ability to divide work and coordinate work
Designed so there is no confusion of authority

Structure and Organizational Performance
Sept 11, 2001
Police/Fire Department
Could not communicate despite their command posts being 3 blocks apart
Breakdown of communication and coordination
Absence of a clear, workable structure impaired effectiveness
Individual Heroism
USS Kennedy
Prepared for most combat contingencies
Clear well understood goals, roles, relationships and coordination = organizational performance
Uniforms – supervisors yellow, brown aircraft traffic, red for weapons and fire, purple for fuelers

Fredrick Taylor 1911
Known as the father of time and Motion studies: coined scientific management
![Page 8: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Max Weber – Early 20th Century
Monocratic Bureaucracy as an ideal form that maximized norms
Technical qualifications instead of family ties or friendship
Employment as long-term career
Hierarchy of offices
![Page 9: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
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)
![Page 10: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
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)
![Page 11: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
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?)
![Page 12: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
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. ?
![Page 13: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

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

McDonald’s and Harvard: A Structural Odd Couple
McDonald’s: clearer goals, more centralized, tighter performance controls
Harvard: diffuse goals, highly decentralized, high autonomy for professors
Why have two successful organizations developed such different structures?

Structure and Restructuring
![Page 21: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Structure and Restructuring
I. Structural configurations
II. Why restructure?
III. Making restructuring work
![Page 22: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
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)
![Page 23: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
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
![Page 24: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
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)
![Page 25: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
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
![Page 26: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
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
![Page 27: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
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
![Page 28: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
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.”
![Page 29: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
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
![Page 30: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Tasks and Linkages in Small Groups
Structural options for small and large tasks
Situational Variables Influencing Structure What are we trying to accomplish? What needs to be done? Who should do what? How should we make decisions? Who is in charge? How do we coordinate efforts?
![Page 33: Structural frame](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062313/55865dd8d8b42a151b8b4629/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Tasks and Linkages in Small Groups
Situational Variables, con’t. What do individuals care about most? What are special skill and talents? What is the relationship? How will we determine success?

objectives? Should structure be conglomerate, mechanistic, or
organic? Task of management:

Marshmallow Challenge
Recap
Each group share out: What kind of structure did your group have? How does this relate(or not) to work environments?
What worked well? What needed improvement?
If this were your organization, how would you restructure?
