Abstract

In order to adequately respond to the challenges of the knowledge-based economy several firms adopt non-traditional organisational forms. These new organisational forms are characterised by their high degree of flexibility and adaptability, their customer focus, their process orientation and their emphasis on team work. Notwithstanding the strengths of these new organisational structures, their contribution to firm performance is contingent on other dimensions, such as strategy, management systems, information technology deployment, and leadership. This paper presents the case of the Danish firm OTICON which adopted such a non-traditional organisational structure. The case illustrates how the various pieces of the management puzzle fit together in this instance. Pour faire face aux défis de la nouvelle économie, nombre d'entreprises avant-gardistes adoptent des formes organisationnelles non-traditionnelles. Ces nouvelles formes partagent un certain nombre de caractéristiques : organisation autour des processus plutôt qu'autour de la tâche, structure aplatie, maximisation des contacts avec les fournisseurs et les clients, par exemple. Bien que prometteur, ce nouveau type de structure organisationnelle n'est pourtant qu'une pièce d'un puzzle d'une grande complexité; pour avoir un véritable impact sur la performance organisationnelle, elle doit être combinée à d'autres pièces, tout aussi importantes, qui sont : la stratégie organisationnelle, le déploiement des technologies de l'information, le leadership et les modes de gestion. Ce texte présente l'expérience de la firme danoise OTICON qui illustre l'une des façons d'agencer ces pièces du puzzle.
