We are living in an upgraded world, and it is still evolving. Several organizations are being introduced in the market with each passing day. New theories and trends are coming into existence. All these together are marking the rise of competitions.

It has become more important than ever to cope with the latest trends and utilize them to get the best outputs. Henry Mintzberg formulated a model for all the organizations to maintain a perfect structure and flow so that companies can attain their business objectives seamlessly.

Mintzberg’s model of organizational structure:

Henry Mintzberg, a management expert, said that traditional organizations could be divided into five parts. For example, Amazon, the biggest tech company, follows the Mintzberg model for achieving the company goals.

The factors that influenced the organizational structure are- industry size, norms, external forces, and cultures. The components that were identified by Mintzberg prove to be useful to understand organizations' workflow.

Static Apex:

The topmost senior level in the organization is known as the static apex. At this level, the management workers are called the Directors' board. It includes the CEO, chairman, non-executive directors, and executes. They are responsible for setting an organization's strategic direction and objectives and contribute to financing and investing decisions.

Middle line:

The strategies and objectives of the strategic level management is interpreted by middle line managers and convert into feasible standards and plans for getting the work completed through the operational managers. They set budgets, get reports from the management accountants, keeps an eye on performance, and takes necessary corrective actions. They are responsible for synchronizing individuals' works so that all the departments work in a particular direction for meeting the organizational needs.

Operational core:

The operational core manager is referred to as the operational manager. They are involved in the regular operations of an organization. They perform under the guidance of the senior managers and achieves organizational goals. These managers are responsible for the organization result's efficiency and quality and also deals with the external stakeholders. In deciding budgets and strategic directions, the operational core managers provide vital information.

Technostructure:

Technostructure includes the managers and employees. But here, they do not involve in any core or revenue-generating activities. The employees assist the managers at every level. They perform it efficiently and effectively and report if there is a need for any corrective actions for achieving the performance objectives and targets. The functional or activity department that is prioritized under technostructure relies on the industry.

Support staff: 

A support staff’s absence does not directly affect the organization’s performance. The organizations invest in supporting activities because they are responsible for providing good working facilities and environment to the core employees for preventing downtime. Under support staff, departments like maintenance, cleaning, and canteen comes.

Conclusion:

It is already high time as the competitions are rising with each passing day. Try to implement the Mintzberg model to cope up with the latest organizational trends. The benefits are huge, but you will need to craft a solid plan and execute them accordingly. You might need to collaborate with your employees as well for preparing the plan.
