Document Summary

Identify four broad trends in the changing nature of organizational design. 1: discuss the relevance of metaphors used to describe organizations. 3: explain the concept of reengineering, describe the notion of the virtual organization, discuss the phenomenon of downsizing and its rationale, methods, and objectives. Everywhere you look, it is obvious that we are a society of organizations. From our hospitals to our schools to our multinational organizations, it is hard to imagine life without organizations. And, for better or worse, those very institutions and organizations that we have grown up with are continuing to undergo dramatic change. Some observers have suggested that what is going on is a shift away from the classical, traditional, bureaucratic model. Believe it or not, the traditional or classical approach to organizational structure, which arose in the time of the industrial revolution, dominated our thinking about the nature of organizational design right up until the 1980s.
