Management and Organizations

To achieve set goals in organisations, the work of many people is to be controlled and coordinated. Managers can significantly influence the performance of organisations by choosing a fitting structure and through the way they are leading their subordinates. Contingency theory based on open-system concept is regarded as baseline for the analysis of organisations, while managerial performance is examined through the functions of management (i.e. strategic planning, organization, leadership and control). Organisation as management function gains a deeper focus and the operations and structure of simple, functional (U-type), multidivisional (M-type), matrix, and agile organisations are presented.
