Abstract

Establishing an appropriate organizational structure is an essential condition for the successful implementation of a corporate strategy. According to current strategists, strategy and structure are interrelated and should be developed in parallel. There is no definitive organizational structure of a company. Based on theories and research on the organizational structure of selected passenger rail transport organizations, it has been shown that an appropriate organizational structure is an important prerequisite for the implementation of the selected strategy. New organizational structures can provide new and interesting opportunities for managers and employees. However, these structures may pose a threat to employees due to the scale of work and, possibly, they may threaten their job. Developing new organizational structures without considering the consequences for those affected is surely inappropriate. At a time of liberalization and increasing competition, an effective organizational strategy is becoming a significant competitive advantage for rail passenger transport organizations.
