Some new business start-ups begin with a simple structure and over time evolve into an elaborate structure. All organizational structures change, but some change more quickly than others. This chapter presents the building blocks of organizational structure—specialization and departmentalization. It also describes centralization and decentralization, delegation, and authority as the key ingredients in establishing the decision-making hierarchy. Along the way, the chapter looks at the differences among functional, divisional, matrix, and international organizational structures and examines the most popular new forms of organizational design. Finally, the chapter explores the informal organization and intrapreneuring. Learning Objectives 6-1. Discuss the factors that influence a firm’s organizational structure. 6-2.
