Entrepreneurial company structure
kezdjen tanulni
Structure is built around the owner manager.
Functional company structure
kezdjen tanulni
That simply means that people within the organisation are organised by a function. So there is a finance function, a manufacturing function, research and development function, sales function, and so on.
Divisional company structure:
3
The normal bases for splitting up an organisation into divisions are:
kezdjen tanulni
Product | Geography | Customer.
3) For example some very large organisations have one division which deals with government contracts and another one which deals with private business contracts.
Matrix structure
kezdjen tanulni
A combination of a functional and a divisional structure.
What Strategic apex want?
for example, the board of directors
kezdjen tanulni
Direction
What Technostructure want?
The techno-structure, for example, would be responsible for writing procedures manuals, quality control manuals, accounting manuals, personnel manuals.
kezdjen tanulni
Efficiency
What Operating core want?
kezdjen tanulni
Proficiency
What Middle line want?
Mintzberg buidling blocks
kezdjen tanulni
Concentration
of accountants or lawyers there has to be a very close relationship between the people who do the work
What Support staff want?
e.g. the accounts department
kezdjen tanulni
Learning
What Strategic apex provides?
for example, the board of directors
kezdjen tanulni
Supervision
What Technostructure provides?
2
kezdjen tanulni
Procedures and standards.
What Operating core provides?
the people who actually does the work
kezdjen tanulni
Expertise and skills.
What Middle line provides?
the middle managers
kezdjen tanulni
Focus and control.
What Support staff provides?
e.g. the accounts department

Help and training.
Structure in which Strategic apex dominate?
kezdjen tanulni
Simple
a simple structure are typically flat
Basic organizational design structure with low departmentalization, little work specialization, wide spans of control, centralized authority (typically the owner has most of the power) and little formalization or rules that govern operation.
Structure in which Technostructure dominate?
The techno-structure, for example, would be responsible for writing procedures manuals, quality control manuals, accounting manuals, personnel manuals.
kezdjen tanulni
Machine bureaucracy
Organisation dealing in mass produced products. The technostructure is large: quality control manuals, good financial internal control systems, health and safety rules, employee handbooks. The central middle line is also fairly long.
Structure in which Operating core dominate?
the people who actually does the work
kezdjen tanulni
Professional bureaucracy
A firm of accountants or a firm of lawyers. In such a structure, the middle line is very short and the techno-structure is very small. Because every client is unique there can’t be a lot of standardisation.

In data communications, flow control is the process of managing the rate of data transmission between two nodes to prevent a fast sender from overwhelming a slow receiver.
Residual risk equation + example:
kezdjen tanulni
Inherent risk less impact of risk controls.
An example of residual risk is given by the use of automotive seat-belts. Installation and use of seat-belts reduces the overall severity and probability of injury. However, probability of injury remains when in use, that is, a remainder of residual risk.
