Formal and Informal Organization
Formal Organization • The Formal Organization is a system of well-defined jobs, each bearing a definite measure of authority, responsibility and accountability. Louis Allen • Formal Organization is a system of consciously coordinated activities of two or more persons toward a common objective. Chester Barnard
Features • It is deliberately designed by the top management • It places more emphasis on work to be performed than interpersonal relationships among the employees. • It specifies the relationships among various job positions and the nature of their inter-relationship. • It lays down rules and procedures essential for achievement of objective • Efforts of various departments are coordinated, interlinked and integrated through the formal organisation.
Formal Organizations
Features • It is deliberately designed by the top management • It places more emphasis on work to be performed than interpersonal relationships among the employees. • It specifies the relationships among various job positions and the nature of their inter-relationship. • It lays down rules and procedures essential for achievement of objective • Efforts of various departments are coordinated, interlinked and integrated through the formal organisation.

Principle of the Span of management or control • There is a limit to the number of persons an individual can effectively manage. ▫ Organization with Narrow Span ▫ Organization with Wide Span
Organization with Narrow Span A B E C F G D H I J K L
Advantage Disadvantage • Close supervision • Close control • Fast communication between subordinates and superiors • Subordinates tend to get involved in Subordinates Work • Many Levels of Management • High Costs due to many levels • Excessive distance between lowest level and top level
Organization With Wide Span
Advantages • Superior are forces to delegate • Clear polices must be made • Subordinate must be carefully selected Disadvantage • Tendency of overloaded • Danger of superiors loss of control • Requires exceptional quality of Managers
Organizational Structure • Organizational Architecture ▫ The organizational structure, control systems, culture, and human resource management systems that together determine how efficiently and effectively organizational resources are used.
What Is Organizational Structure? • Organizational Structure ▫ How job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated ▫ Key Elements: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Work specialization Departmentalization Chain of command Span of control Centralization and decentralization Formalization
1. Work Specialization • The degree to which tasks in the organization are subdivided into separate jobs • Division of Labor ▫ Makes efficient use of employee skills ▫ Increases employee skills through repetition ▫ Less between-job downtime increases productivity ▫ Specialized training is more efficient
2. Departmentalization • The basis by which jobs are grouped together • Grouping Activities by: ▫ Function ▫ Product ▫ Geography ▫ Process ▫ Customer
3. Chain of Command • Authority ▫ The rights inherent in a managerial position to give orders and to expect the orders to be obeyed • Chain of Command ▫ The unbroken line of authority that extends from the top of the organization to the lowest echelon and clarifies who reports to whom • Unity of Command ▫ A subordinate should have only one superior to whom he or she is directly responsible 16 -35
4. Span of Control The number of subordinates a manager can efficiently and effectively direct. Span of control refers to the number of subordinates a supervisor has. ▫ Wider spans of management increase organizational efficiency ▫ Narrow span drawbacks: ▫ Expense of additional layers of management �Increased complexity of vertical communication �Encouragement of overly tight supervision and discouragement of employee autonomy
5. Centralization and Decentralization • Centralization ▫ The degree to which decision making is concentrated at a single point in the organization. • Decentralization ▫ The degree to which decision making is spread throughout the organization.
Centralized vs. Decentralized • In a centralized organization: ▫ people have little autonomy ▫ norms that focus on being cautious, obeying authority, and respecting traditions emerge ▫ predictability and stability are desired goals • In a flat, decentralized structure: ▫ people have more freedom to choose and control their own activities ▫ norms that focus on being creative and courageous and taking risks appear ▫ gives rise to a culture in which innovation and flexibility are desired goals.
6. Formalization • The degree to which jobs within the organization are standardized. ▫ High formalization �Minimum worker discretion in how to get the job done �Many rules and procedures to follow ▫ Low formalization �Job behaviors are non-programmed �Employees have maximum discretion 16 -39
Organizational Architecture/Structure ▫ Vertical differentiation �Tall versus Flat Structure ▫ Horizontal differentiation �Functional Structure �Multidivisional/ Divisional Structure �Geographic Structure �Matrix Structure
Tall and Flat Organizations • Tall structures have many levels of authority and narrow spans of control. ▫ As hierarchy levels increase, communication gets difficult creating delays in the time being taken to implement decisions. ▫ Communications can also become distorted as it is repeated through the firm. ▫ Can become expensive
Tall Organizations
Tall and Flat Organizations • Flat structures have fewer levels and wide spans of control. ▫ Structure results in quick communications but can lead to overworked managers.

Organizational architecture – Vertical integration Tall Organization Flat organization • This type of organizational architecture has many layers and narrow span of control. • This type of organizational architecture has few layers and wide span of control.
ORGANIZATIONAL ARCHITECTURE – HORIZONTAL DIFFERENTIATION 1. Functional Structure: • Structure is created based on the various functions of an organization. • An organizational structure composed of all the departments that an organization requires to produce its goods or services. General Manager Production Dept Finance Dept Marketing Dept HR Department
2. Multi-Division/ Divisional structure General Manager Division III • Multiple divisions are created in a related industry. • Managers create a series of business units to produce a specific kind of product for a specific kind of customer
Types of Divisional Structure 1. Product Structure 2. Geographic Structure 3. Market Structure
Types of Divisional Structures • Product Structure ▫ Managers place each distinct product line or business in its own self-contained division ▫ Divisional managers have the responsibility for devising an appropriate business-level strategy to allow the division to compete effectively in its industry
Product Structure • Allows functional managers to specialize in one product area • Division managers become experts in their area • Removes need for direct supervision of division by corporate managers • Divisional management improves the use of resources
Types of Divisional Structures • Geographic Structure ▫ Divisions are broken location/regions down by geographic ▫ All the activities in one geographic region is categorized into one unit. • Global geographic structure ▫ Managers locate different divisions in each of the world regions where the organization operates. ▫ Generally, occurs when managers pursuing a multi-domestic strategy are
Types of Divisional Structures • Market Structure ▫ Groups divisions according to the particular kinds of customers they serve ▫ Allows managers to be responsive to the needs of their customers and act flexibly in making decisions in response to customers’ changing needs
Matrix Design Structure • Matrix Structure ▫ An organizational structure that simultaneously groups people and resources by function and product. �Results in a complex network of superiorsubordinate reporting relationships. �The structure is very flexible and can respond rapidly to the need for change. �Each employee has two bosses (functional manager and product manager) and possibly cannot satisfy both.
Matrix Structure
Matrix Structure • Advantages: ▫ Enhances organizational flexibility. ▫ Team members have the opportunity to learn new skills. ▫ Provides an efficient way for the organization to use its human resources. ▫ Team members serve as bridges to their departments for the team. • Disadvantages: ▫ Employees are uncertain about reporting relationships. ▫ The dynamics of group behavior may lead to slower decision making, one-person domination, compromise decisions, or a loss of focus. ▫ More time may be required for coordinating task-related activities.
