What is organizational structure?
The formal system of rules and tasks and authority relationships that control how people cooperate and use resources to achieve the organization’s goals. (Barnard, 1948)
The sum total of the ways in which its labor is divided and then its coordination is achieved among these tasks. (Mintzberg, 1983)
The groupings of related activities performed in an organization into meaningful components to insure effective communication, coordination, and control for accomplishing the organization’s strategic objectives.
