Default Organisation Structures

Organisation Structure seems to be the very basic of an organisation, roles of the individuals and its various HR processes etc...!!

Questions is how do we structure the organisation.... what is the correct methodology.... entirely business based, what methodology do we use.... Is the methodologies used by Hay/Mercer/Hewitt full-proof where they assume the structures as a continuum...!!

organisation structure is very essential , starting from the top ceo of the company to the employees, a proper order and management in the structure would ensure healthy growth of the company.

whatever works
The best structure will differ from organization to organization. I would say that listing all that needs to be done, how it relates with the other things on the list, and any extra additions which seems ideal is the starting point, and the anchor points for the processes involved would dictate an optimum structure for that company.
No point creating or suggesting a structure first and shaping an entire company to fit it.
This is like digging round holes and carving pegs to fit it. I would say, get pegs first. Holes can be dug in any shape!

while there are numerous models of organisation design and structures, I feel structure is just one of the cogs in the wheel of an org - other ones being culture (include values),systems and processes (each of them affecting the other).
Overriding focus on the structure may lead to many simplistic assumptions and oversight on other major leverage points for effective organisational performance.
A generic suggestion for the organisations of today is to keep the structures as simple as possible as anyway, they will evolve over time into more complex ones as per the internal and external environment.

Default Re: Organisation Structures

let strategy,values and culture dictate the structure...two things to keep in mind would be
1) No obstacles in achieving goals
2) no obstructions to flow of information, ideas and decisions

structure being context based will need to be reviewed the moment changes in the business context are anticipated or happen.

Default Re: Organisation Structures

In my opinion Groups of people work together in organisations to make a product or provide a service. Organisations vary greatly in size from local businesses employing a small number of people to large multinational corporations that operate globally. The best structure will be different from one organization to other organization. Business organisations have four basic internal functions which they must manage and control:

1. Production
2. Sales and marketing
3. Personnel (or human resources)
4. Finance and Accounting

Depending upon the size and nature of the organisation, the more functions they will have. Often these functions are refered to as departments in larger organisations, however, in a small business for example in the case of a sole trader, these functions may be undertaken by one person (the sole trader) and there won't be any departments.
