Corporate and Business Unit Management Tools 2: Structure and Process

In: Building the Innovative Organization

Abstract

I will discuss three types of management tools in this chapter: those related to organization structure and the allocation of power, those related to communications systems and information management, and those related to decision making methods. The first of these is at the core of traditional discussions of structure. Communication is so closely linked with organization structure that I discuss it immediately after. The third, decision-making methods, is so closely related to both communication and to the application of power within an organization that I discuss it in the same chapter.
