Managing Structures: Lorna Q. Rivamonte

1) Organizational structures determine how job tasks are divided and how departments and divisions are arranged. There are debates around whether hierarchical or non-hierarchical structures are best. 2) Common structures include functional departmentalization based on tasks, and divisionalization based on products/markets. Job specialization brings efficiency but can reduce flexibility and motivation. 3) Bureaucracy is a traditional hierarchical structure but can lead to problems like dysfunction if not managed properly. Modern approaches aim to reduce these issues through decentralization and integrative structures.
