Synopsis

Organizational theory is a positive science that provides an understanding of how the world operates, contrasting it with how the world could operate and thereby providing a theoretical basis for organizational design. This book constructs an approach for diagnosing and designing organizations, built on a knowledge base of organizational theory. This approach can be applied to a broad range of situations, producing a clear and consistent set of design rules that are used to create new organizational designs. The book not only describes good organizations; it actually prescribes good organizational design. "The Organizational Consultant" - the computer-based expert system that accompanies the book - operationalizes the theoretical propositions developed in the book. The expert system applies the theory, dealing with millions of design possibilities in a systematic and comprehensive manner, providing a diagnosis of an organization and offering recommendations for its design, configuration, complexity, formalization, centralization, media richness, committees, meetings and liaison relations.
