BASIC ELEMENTS OF

ORGANISATION DESIGN

Work specialization
Departmentalization
Unity of command
Span of control
Authority
Centralization and decentralization
Formalization

2015 Flat World Education

Organizational design is engaged when managers develop or


change an organization's structure. Organizational Design is a
process that involves decisions about the following seven key
elements.

28

BASIC ELEMENTS ORGANISATION DESIGN

2015 Flat World Education

1) Work Specialization
tasks in the organization are divided into separate jobs
with each step completed by a different person

29

BASIC ELEMENTS ORGANISATION DESIGN

2015 Flat World Education

2) Five types of departmentalization :a) Functional - Grouping jobs by functions performed


b) Product - Grouping jobs by product line
c) Geographical - Grouping jobs on the basis of geography
d) Process - Grouping jobs on the basis of product or
customer flow
e) Customer - Grouping jobs by type of customer and needs
30

BASIC ELEMENTS ORGANISATION D ESIGN


a) Functional

In-depth specialization
Poor communication across functional areas
b) Geographical
More effective and efficient handling of specific regional
issues that arise

Serve needs of customers in the same regional

E.g Southern region

2015 Flat World Education

Efficiencies put together people similar skills and


knowledge in different department

31

c) . Product
Allows

downward in an organization from superior to subordinate .
b) Staff authority is advisory in nature. It does not provide
any basis for direct control over the subordinates or activities
of other departments
c) Functional authority is authority delegated to an individual
or department over specific activities undertaken by
personnel in other departments
33

4) Unity of command: The management principle that each


person should report to only one manager

The number of employees who can be effectively and efficiently


supervised by a manager

34

BASIC ELEMENTS ORGANISATION DESIGN

2015 Flat World Education

6) Centralization - Decision making is concentrated at a single point


in the organization
Decentralization - lower-level employees provide input or actually
make decisions
7) Formalization
Jobs are standardized and employee behaviour is guided by
rules and procedures
Highly formalized jobs offer little discretion over what is to be
done
Low formalization means fewer constraints on how employees do
