Literature Review “An organizational structure can be viewed from different perspectives, Sociology, Economics and Psychology.” (Peter Stimpson, 2007) “An organizational structure is an arrangement of lines of authority, communications, rights and duties of an organization.” (Baligh, 2006).The Organizational structure of a business decides how the roles, power and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and coordinated, and how information flows between the different levels of management. A structure depends on the organization 's objectives and strategy. “In a centralized structure, the top layer of management has most of the decision making power and has tight control over departments and divisions. In a decentralized structure, the decision making power is distributed and the departments and divisions may have different degrees of independence.” (Madura, 2007)
Example: A company such as Cash & Money that sells multiple products may organize their structure so that groups are divided according to each product.
There are several different types of organizational structures.
