OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN
Organizational Design is defined as the interaction of decisions and behaviors that result in an organizational structure.
In 1972, British sociologist John Child developed the strategic choice model which has evolved an organizarional structure that is determined by the coalition of top
management who comprises the main strategies of the company (Child, cited by Quick and Nelson, 1997).

Mechanistic Model Organic Model
This theory was developed by Fayol Weber, and Follet. It
emphasizes on highly specialized jobs with centralized decision-

It has flexibility. It does not emphasize on status differences,
specializations, and job descriptions.

9. WHEN PEOPLE ARE READY TO ACT
Rick Maurer
The Journal for Quality and Participation: Cincinnati: Fall 2002 Part 1: Moving From Why to How
A major problem for people who try to lead change and that includes people who are trying to keep quality and service alive in their organizations is acting before
people are ready. Moving too quickly creates resistance, and moving too slowly allows ideas to die on the vine.
People ask two fundamental questions when confronted with the thought of changing: Why do we need to change? And how can we make the change work? Often
we forget to address the why question, and we move directly to the how question.
Why comes in two flavors: rational and emotional. The rational includes the facts, data, numbers, trends, and so forth. Town hall meetings, newsletters, videos,
question and answer sessions, and e-mails can be an effective way to address what this writer calls level one issues. On the other hand, although presenting the
rational information is important, it is not enough.
If you are promoting an idea that others might see as damaging to their interests, you need to convey the urgency of changing. Daryl Conner, author of Managing
at the Speed of Change, suggests that in order for change in organizations to be successful people need to feel a "burning platform under their feet." Linking the
risk of a heart attack to my behavioral pattern created that burning platform for me.
10. Here are some tips that can help:
❖ - Don't limit yourself to presentations.
❖ - Engage people in conversation. We learn by engaging in dialogue. One-way communication only works for a short time. If your idea is at all threatening, people
will be distracted by their own thoughts while you are talking. Conversation gives both people a chance to explore how they both see the situation.
❖ - Till the soil. Get people ready for change well before one is needed. Let people know about the issues that concern your organization. As a matter of routine,
give people access to trends, financials, quality measurements, customer service ratings, and information about what competitors are doing.
