The organizational structure that shows a unique combination of strategy, structure, and management process is known as a network organization.

quesImage56

Explanation:

  • The network structure is a newer type of organizational structure viewed as less hierarchical (i.e., more “flat”), more decentralized, and more flexible than other structures.
  • In a network structure, managers coordinate and control relationships that are both internal and external to the firm.
  • The concept underlying the network structure is the social network—a social structure of interactions. Open communication and reliable partners (both internally and externally) are key components of social networks.
  • Proponents argue that the network structure is more agile than other structures. Because it is decentralized, a network organization has fewer tiers, a wider span of control, and a bottom-up flow of decision making and ideas.
  • It shows a unique combination of strategy, structure, and management process 
  • A disadvantage of the network structure is that this more fluid structure can lead to more complex relations in the organization.
