Summary: This book presents a new way of looking at ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE- whether you are interested in a firm, an international conglomerate, a social service, a consortium of like-minded people, a government department, or a national economy Hitherto, the approach to organizational structure has had only one tool: the 'family tree' organization chart. Typically, this chart has been frozen out of history: it is geological genealogy! Things have got like this because events (inventions, markets, opportunities, entrepreneurs, capitalists, workers, economic environments, glory and misery, all intervening) led to this, and not to something else. The organizational structure has been rationalized-after the event. And there it sits, offering the manager its own explanation of how things actually work.

The organizational structure has been rationalized-after the event. And there it sits, offering the manager its own explanation of how things actually work.
