LESSON NOTES
Machine Bureaucracy
The most ‘traditional-looking’ structure is the machine bureaucracy.
- Rigid hierarchical structure
- Rules to follow
- Communication follows a structure and adheres to reporting lines
- Decision-making at the top of the organization
- Professional managers rule the organization
Examples are big manufacturing businesses.
This structure can work in many configurations:
• Functional
• Brand or product
• Federal organization of operating companies
Professional Bureaucracy
Services rather than products
- Processes and procedures need more flexibility
- Leadership still controls quality and process
Examples: professional services firms and Government departments.
Entrepreneurial Startup
- Need to adapt and change quickly, so a rigid structure just won’t work
- Owners and investors want to stay in charge and make all the decisions
- Centralized but able to restructure quickly and nimbly
- Structures often flat, with one or two layers between the CEO and the individual producers
- Small, informal, loose allocation of roles
- Strong leadership from a single person
Adhocracy
- Projects come together, adopt whatever structure they need, and morph as the project evolves
- High degree of self-direction among highly competent team members
- Co-ordination comes not through the structure, but by effective communication between people
Mintzberg has visited this topic again, in 1989, in Mintzberg on Management - https://geni.us/t2lB3. Here, he identified six archetypical organizational models, adding:

- Create a central administrative function to serve a range of operating units that are more or less autonomous. The degree of autonomy seems to vary in cycles with the current cycle creating a high degree of centralisation.
Missionary Organizations
- Driven by a single, clear mission that provides
• the basis for every strategic choice and
• the motivation for employees
Charities and NGOs often fit this description
