Organization Theory and Design management

It has been widely argued that there is a direct link between organizational design and sustainability, as increasingly organizations are building sustainability plans, which are industriously integrated into their core strategies. Even though objectives might differ, and structures might vary, organizational design, undeniably influences decision making, it determines the way leaders are selected, goals are set and performance is assessed among others. Affecting thus sustainability.

In this context, on the one hand, an organic structure is thought to enhance stakeholder integration, contribute toward a value oriented environment, and permit an easier diffusion of knowledge at all levels. On the other hand, a mechanistic structure is thought to support a bureaucratic climate that might inhibit organizational abilities to realize and seize values aligned opportunities.
Accordingly, choose a locally based company and examine its organizational design and the way its structure leads or inhibits sustainability.
