Extended data:
Peter drucker, the father of modern management, thinks that the organizational structure is as follows:
1. Organizational structure will not "spontaneously evolve". In an organization, only chaos, friction and poor performance will spontaneously evolve, so organizational design needs thinking, analysis and systematic research.
2. Designing organizational structure is not the first step, but the last step. The first step is to identify and organize the basic components of the organizational structure. Among them, the basic components of organizational structure refer to those business activities that must be included in the final structure and bear the "structural load" of the whole organization. In addition, the basic constituent units are determined by their contribution types.
3. The strategy determines the structure. Structure is a means to achieve various goals of an organization. In order to ensure efficiency and rationality, the organizational structure must adapt to the strategy, that is, the strategy determines the structure.
4. The three different tasks of daily management, innovation and top management must be combined in the same organizational structure. On the one hand, the organizational structure must be task-centered, on the other hand, it must be people-centered, with both power axis and responsibility axis.
