Contextual Factors that Influence Organizational Design *
Age and Size
Technical System(s)
Environmental Factors
Power Relationships
*Mintzberg, Structure in Fives
![Page 16: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Contextual Factors: Age & Size
• The older the organization the more formal its behavior• Structure often reflects age when the industry was created• The larger an organization the more elaborate its structure• The larger the organization the larger the average size of its units• The larger an organization the more formalized its behavior
*Mintzberg, Structure in Fives
![Page 17: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Contextual Factors: Technical Systems
• ↑ technical system requirements → formal operations → ↑ bureaucracy in operating core
• sophisticated technical system → elaborate staff with increased decentralization to technostructure
• operating core automation → converts bureaucratic structure into organic one
*Mintzberg, Structure in Fives
![Page 18: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contextual Factors: Environment
• dynamic environment → organic structure• complex environment → decentralized structure or design• diverse markets → split units• hostile environment → centralize administrative functions• disparate environment → decentralize selectively to serve
*Mintzberg, Structure in Fives
![Page 19: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Contextual Factors: Power
• ↑ external control → centralize, formalize structure
• ↑ member power needs → excess centralization
• fashion favors structure of the day - even if inappropriate
*Mintzberg, Structure in Fives
![Page 20: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

∙ Simple Structure
∙ Machine Bureaucracy
∙ Professional Bureaucracy
∙ Divisional Form
∙ Adhocracy

Simple Structure*
“The simple structure is characterized, above all,by what is not elaborated. Typically, it has no technostructure, few support staff, a loosedivision of labor, and a small managerial hierarchy.Little of its behavior is formalized and it makesminimal use of planning and training. It is, above all, organic.” “Coordination in the simple structure is effected largely by direct supervision. Specifically, powerover all important decisions tends to be centralizedin the owner - manager.”
*Mintzberg, Structure in Fives, pg. 157.

Solution Shop
∙ Organizations designed to identify [diagnose] and recommend solutions to unusual or unique challenges [problems]
∙ Deliver value to customers using expertise resident in their expert staff – most problems unique and require customized solutions
∙ Examples: consulting firms, advertising agencies, R & D firms, legal firms, general hospitals, specialty physician practices
![Page 38: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Value Added Process Business∙ Transforms resource inputs – people, materials, energy, equipment, information, capital – into outputs of higher value
∙ Work is often repetitive and the ability to deliver value rests in the work processes, staff, equipment and other operating functionality
∙ Examples: restaurants, auto manufacturing, smart phones – many medical events or procedures are value-adding process activities [cataract surgery, joint replacement surgery, minute clinics]
![Page 39: Leading & Managing in Complex Organizations “Organizational Design” Day 1 – Afternoon Session Michael J. Deegan, M.D., D.M](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/5697bfa61a28abf838c98793/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Facilitated Network Business
∙ Organizations that operate systems in which customers buy and sell and deliver and receive things from other participants
∙ The networked users are an integral part of the product and contribute to its overall value
∙ Examples: commercial banking, casinos, online investment brokers, Amazon & E-bay Sermo, PatientsLikeMe, disease management networks, Optum are healthcare examples

“The General Hospital is not a viablebusiness model. In the absence of an array of cross-subsidies, restraints oncompetition, and philanthropic lifesupport, most would collapse.” [pg.420]*
“Hospitals suffer from extraordinarily highcomplexity-driven overheads as theyattempt to manage the myriad patient pathways that snake through their facilities.”
*Christiansen CM: The Innovator’s prescription: McGraw Hill, 2009.

“One of Thomas Kuhn’s most prominentconclusions was that when a newparadigm was emerging from the work of scientists, the experts in the old paradigm, remained convinced, even totheir dying days, the new paradigm cannot possibly be true. The reason is the old paradigm has sopowerfully shaped their beliefs…their mindsliterally cannot see the phenomena leadingto the new paradigm.” [pg. 412]*
