Write A Research Paper In Which You Define Four Organizational Designs, Compare Them, And Describe

Introduction Organizational design is at the heart of the strategy-structure-fit relationship
The organization’s broad strategy and goals must first be determined before designing the organization
Then the organization design team (usually senior management or the founder) must determine how best to structure the organization in a way that supports the overall strategy
Modern organizations can take on many different types of design
