This document discusses organizational structure and its key elements: 1) Work specialization, which is the degree tasks are divided into separate jobs to utilize employee skills and maximize productivity. Specialization can improve efficiency but also cause boredom. 2) Departmentalization, which is how jobs are grouped, such as by function, product, location, process, or customer. Departments are formed from job groupings. 3) Elements like chain of command, span of control, centralization/decentralization, and formalization which determine the flow of authority, number of subordinates per manager, where decision-making power lies, and how standardized jobs are.
