Strategy, Structure, and Process at the Business Unit and Enterprise Levels

This Third Edition of the groundbreaking
book Designing Organizations offers a guide to the
process of creating and managing an organization (no matter how
complex) that will be positioned to respond effectively and rapidly
to customer demands and have the ability to achieve unique
competitive advantage. This latest edition includes fresh
illustrative examples and references, while the foundation of the
book remains the author?s popular and widely used Star
Model.



  • Includes a comprehensive explanation of the basics of
    organization design

  • Outlines a strategic approach to design that is based on the
    Star Model, a holistic framework for combining strategy, structure,
    processes, rewards, and people

  • Describes the different types of single-business, functional
    organizations and focuses on the functional structure and the
    cross-functional lateral processes that characterize most
    single-business organizations.

  • Features a special section on the effects of big data on
    organization design, and whether or not it will result in a new
    dimension of organizational structure


Highlighting the social technologies used to coordinate work
flows, products, and services across the company, this new edition
of Designing Organizations brings theory to life with a
wealth of examples from such well-known companies as Disney, Nike,
IBM, and Rovio (Angry Birds) to show how various kinds of
organization designs operate differently.
