    Compare and Contrast Traditional and Modern Organizational Design


    LESSON 8: ORGANIZATION THEORIES AND APPLICATIONS

    These are the types of Traditional Organizational Design Theories:

    1. Simple- this organizational design has less number of departments, wide spans or a big number
    of subordinates directly reporting to a manager; has a centralized authority figure and has very
    little formalization of work; usually used by companies that start out as entrepreneurial
    ventures.

    Simple Organizational Design


    Strength Weaknesses
    • Flexible • risk that overdependence with
    • Fast decision making and result over-dependence on a single person
    • Clear accountability • no longer appropriate as the
    company grows

    2. Functional- this organizational design groups together similar or related specialties. Generally,
    functional departmentalization is utilized and put into practice in an entire organization.

    Functional Organizational Design


    Strength Weaknesses
    • cost-saving advantages • managers have little knowledge of
    management is facilitated because other units' functions
    • workers with similar tasks are
    grouped together

    3. Divisional- this organizational design is made up of separate business divisions or units,


    where the parent corporation acts as overseer to coordinate and control the different
    divisions and provide financial and legal support services.

    Divisional Organizational Design


    Strength Weaknesses
    • focused on results • possible duplication of activities
    • managers are responsible for what and resources
    happens to their products and • increased cost and reduced efficiency
    services
    These are the types of Modern Organizational Design Theories:

    1. Team Design. In team design, the entire organization is made up of work groups or
    teams. Its advantages include empowerment of team members and reduced barriers
    among functional areas. It also has disadvantages, including a clear chain of command
    and great pressure on teams to perform.
    2. Matrix-Project Design. Matrix design refers to an organization design where
    specialists from different departments work on projects that are supervised by a project
    manager. This design results in a double chain of command wherein workers have two
    managers-their functional area manager and their project manager—who share
    authority over them. Advantage: specialists are involved in the project. Disadvantage:
    task and personality conflicts. Project design refers to an organizational design where
    employees continuously work on a project. Advantages: flexible designs and fast
    decision-making. Disadvantages: complexity of assigning people to projects and tasks
    and personality conflicts. This is another modern organizational design where the
    design is not defined or limited by vertical, horizontal, and external boundaries. In other
    words, there are no hierarchical levels that separate employees, no
    3. Boundary less Design Departmentalization, and no boundaries that separate the
    organization from customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Virtual organization
    designs are often used in this design; small groups of full-time employees and outside
    specialists are temporarily hired to work on projects. Its advantages include being
    highly flexible and responsive, while its disadvantages are lack of control and problems
    in communication.
