Assignment 1: Discussion—Structural Configurations for Organizations

profiledr_mic

Henry Mintzberg (1980) introduced a new way to explain structural configurations by “clustering various functions into groupings and showing their relative size and clout in response to different missions and external challenges” (Bolman & Deal, 2009, p. 78). Other authors offer different ways of looking at this topic.

Using the University online library resources, locate a minimum of four different scholarly sources that offer different approaches on structural configurations for organizations.

Complete the following:

  • Pick two extra approaches, one of those being Sally Helgesen’s (1995) “The Web of Inclusion.”
  • From the manager’s standpoint, examine the different approaches and provide the pros and cons of each one of them when compared to Mintzberg’s proposal.

Write your initial response in a minimum of 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
