Organizational Design: Mechanistic vs. Organic Structures
This topic examines organizational design through the classic distinction between mechanistic and organic structures introduced by Burns and Stalker, and situates that distinction within Mintzberg's broader framework of organizational configurations and coordinating mechanisms. Students will learn to diagnose structural dimensions such as formalization, centralization, and differentiation, and to apply contingency reasoning to real organizational design choices.
