THE IMPACT OF THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT ON THE SHAPING OF AN ORGANIZATION CHART

Abstract

Since Adam Smith , FW Taylor, H. Fayol and recently , whether we are referring to Peter Drucker, Harrington & Harrington, and other authors consecrated in the literature of management / economics, the organization issues in an organization have grown much in complexity. The manner in which the firm / company constitutes the organization chart induces subsequently, explicitly or not, multiple conditionings in the daily practice of the organization (both in the sense that it may favour certain efforts / strategies or on the contrary it may block such efforts. The size of the company, the market and the technology are the most popular factors that will influence an organization chart.. However, in the context of global crisis and chaotic business environment, new questions arise regarding the model of organization charts and associated management strategies. What are the predictable directions regarding the type of organization chart in the current business environment? How does social competition influence the shape of organization charts in different countries?
