Download or read book Coordination Without Hierarchy written by Donald Chisholm and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The organizational history of American government during the past 100 years has been written principally in terms of the creation of larger and larger public organizations. Beginning with the Progressive movement, no matter the goal, the reflexive response has been to consolidate and centralize into formal hierarchies. That efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, and the coordination necessary to achieve them, are promoted by such reorganizations has become widely accepted.Borrowing from social psychology, sociology, political science, and public administration, and using the public transit system of the San Francisco Bay area for illustrative purposes, Donald Chisholm directly challenges this received wisdom. He argues that, contrary to contemporary canons of public administration, we should actively resist the temptation to consolidate and centralize our public organizations. Rather, we should carefully match organizational design with observed types and levels of interdependence, since organizational systems that on the surface appear to be tightly linked webs of interdependence on closer examination often prove decomposable into relatively simpler subsystems that may be coordinated through decentralized, informal organizational arrangements.Chisholm finds that informal channels between actors at different organizations prove remarkably effective and durable as instruments of coordination. Developed and maintained as needed rather than according to a single preconceived design, informal channels, along with informal conventions and contracts, tend to match interorganization interdependence closely and to facilitate coordination. Relying on such measures reduces the cognitive demands and obviates the necessity for broadscale political agreement typical of coordination by centralized, formal organizations. They also advance other important values that are frequently absent in formally consolidated organizations, such as reliability, flexibility, and the representation of varied interests.Coordination Without Hierarchy is an incisive, penetrating work whose conclusions apply to a wide range of public organizations at all levels of government. It will be of interest to a broad array of social scientists and policymakers.In an earlier version, Coordination Without Hierarchy received the American Political Science Association 1985 Leonard D. White Award for the best doctoral dissertation in the field of public administration, including broadly related problems of policy formation and administrative theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s complexity, speed, and need for adaptation are putting organizations under stress. Understanding how organizations function and truly come alive has become a critical competency. And yet, organizations still seem to lack a solid understanding of what constitutes meaningful, viable, and effective organizational structures. Using the Viable System Model (VSM) as a framework, this three-volume compendium volume offers readers a new and comprehensive perspective on organizations and how they function beyond the organizational chart. Moreover, it equips readers with a rigorous methodology for analyzing organizations and addressing deep-seated organizational dysfunctions, while also showing them how to redesign their structures and develop better and more tailor-made solutions. This first volume introduces readers to the VSM and its main components. Readers are taken on a journey, allowing them to rediscover all-too-familiar aspects in the life of their organization and to become aware of the critical success factors for its smooth functioning and long-term viability. In turn, volumes 2 and 3 provide an in-depth introduction to diagnosing and designing organizations with the help of the VSM. For academics, this compendium rediscovers a theoretical perspective that can help them understand macro-structural issues; at the same time, for VSM experts and researchers alike, it resolves many open aspects in the VSM framework. "This compendium is a most welcome contribution to Organizational Cybernetics. Lassl provides a detailed analytical and insightful perspective on the currently most powerful organization theory, which is a key to mastering complexity: the Viable System Model. The author also finds new, creative ways of showing the practitioner how to make the model work. If you apply it properly, you can reap huge benefits: the viability of your organization and a prosperous future."Prof. em. Dr. Markus Schwaninger, University of St. Gallen

This book was released on 2022 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book, through an in-depth process study of the interactions of two creative groups (film production crew) in temporary organizations during two media projects, explores how a team developmental process unfolds and proposes a model illustrating how the groups repeatedly change formation so that individuals can manage job interdependencies and new issues arising while developing, building up, and synthesizing new ideas into a final creative solution. This theory on creative group dynamic coordination builds theory on how and why creative groups coordinate, challenges assumptions about the role of formal structures and informal practices by demonstrating how the two dynamically interact and complement each other to facilitate coordination via the emergence of what one would expect to be “un-coordinated methods”, and provides an alternative perspective to the stages the groups have to go through by emphasizing a cyclical and not a linear team developmental process. About the author Stavros Georgiades is Professor W2 of Management at the Stuttgart Media University (Visiting Post), Assistant Professor of Management at Frederick University, a research collaborator of the University of Digital Sciences Berlin and the founder of the Anagnorisis Institute of Media Management (AIMM). He holds a PhD in Management from the Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK. His research focuses on media employee engagement and creativity, team coordination and adaptation in media settings, and digital entrepreneurship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The split between the organization design and informal networks perspectives has created a barrier to understanding how organizations really work, we argue. From the organization design perspective, much is known about the effectsof formal practices on outcomes. There is a working assumption that these practices affect outcomes primarily by strengthening or weakening ties among organizational actors, but little has been done to test that assumption. From the network perspective, much is known about conceptualizing and measuring informal ties among organizational actors, but little is known about the power of organization design in shaping these ties. Combining these two perspectives enables us to better understand the dynamic relationship between formal organization design and informal network ties. Using the example of patient care coordination as a context for theory development, we make three contributions in this paper. First, we develop a typology of formal organizational practices which affect ties among organizationalactors. Second, we specify the links between types of organizational practices and multiple dimensions of networkties. We consider the effects of organizational practices not only on the structure of communication, but also on its content and on the quality of the underlying relationships among organizational actors. Third, we argue that informal networks do not just emerge but can be purposefully shaped in specific ways -- and along multiple dimensions -- by formal organization design.

Book excerpt: Organizing is a fundamental function of management that involves arranging resources and tasks in a structured way to achieve organizational goals efficiently. Here’s a comprehensive overview of organizing in management: Definition of Organizing: Organizing refers to the process of structuring, arranging, and coordinating organizational resources (such as people, materials, and equipment) and activities to achieve objectives effectively. It entails creating a formal structure of roles, responsibilities, and relationships within the organization to facilitate smooth workflow and optimal performance. Key Elements of Organizing: Structuring Roles and Responsibilities: Job Design: Defining job roles, responsibilities, tasks, and authority levels for each position within the organization. Departmentalization: Grouping of activities and resources into departments or functional areas based on similarities in tasks, functions, or product/service lines (e.g., marketing, finance, operations). Establishing Authority and Accountability: Authority: Granting decision-making power and the right to give orders to achieve organizational objectives. Accountability: Holding individuals and teams responsible for achieving specific outcomes and results. Creating Organizational Structure: Organizational Chart: Visual representation of the hierarchical structure, showing relationships, reporting lines, and communication channels among departments, positions, and individuals. Span of Control: Determining the number of subordinates or employees a manager or supervisor can effectively supervise and manage. Coordination and Integration: Integration of Efforts: Ensuring synergy and alignment among different departments and functions to avoid duplication of efforts and enhance collaboration. Coordination: Facilitating communication, cooperation, and harmonization of activities across various organizational units to achieve common goals. Process of Organizing: Identifying Activities: Analysing organizational goals and objectives to determine the specific activities and tasks needed to achieve them. Grouping Activities: Grouping related activities into departments, units, or teams based on functional similarities, product lines, geographical locations, or customer segments. Assigning Duties: Allocating responsibilities and assigning tasks to individuals or teams based on their skills, expertise, and job descriptions. Delegating Authority: Granting decision-making authority, resource allocation, and accountability to individuals or positions to carry out assigned tasks. Establishing Relationships: Defining reporting relationships, communication channels, and lines of authority within the organizational structure to facilitate effective decision-making and workflow. Monitoring and Adjusting: Continuously monitoring organizational performance, evaluating the effectiveness of the organizational structure, and adjusting as necessary to improve efficiency and adapt to changing conditions. Importance of Organizing: Efficiency: Organizing helps in streamlining workflow, eliminating duplication of efforts, and optimizing resource allocation, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. Clarity and Structure: It provides clarity regarding roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships, reducing ambiguity and promoting accountability. Flexibility: A well-organized structure allows organizations to adapt to changes in the external environment and internal demands more effectively. Coordination: Effective organizing facilitates better coordination and integration of activities across different departments and functions, promoting teamwork and collaboration. Challenges in Organizing: Resistance to Change: Employees and managers may resist changes in organizational structure or job roles due to uncertainty or fear of job insecurity. Complexity: As organizations grow, maintaining a balance between centralization and decentralization and managing a complex organizational structure can be challenging. Adaptability: Organizing must be adaptable to accommodate rapid technological advancements, market shifts, and evolving customer preferences. Conclusion: Organizing is a pivotal function of management that structures organizational resources and activities in a systematic manner to achieve goals effectively and efficiently. By establishing clear roles, responsibilities, and relationships within the organization, organizing facilitates coordination, enhances operational performance, and supports the overall success and sustainability of the organization in a competitive business environment.

This book was released on 2007-06-21 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the advisory role of the International Court of Justice in light of its jurisprudence and overall contribution over a period of more than 55 years. The author highlights the "organic connection" between UN organs and the Court and the Court’s contribution as one of the UN’s principal organs to the Organisation. The basic argument of this study is that the advisory function should be understood as a two-sided process involving the interplay between UN organs and the ICJ. The request for and the giving of an advisory opinion is a collective coordinated process, involving more than one organ or part of the Organisation.
