Mintzberg's configurations

Mintzberg's configurations describe different organizational structures and how they operate effectively. He identified five main types: 1. **Simple Structure**: Small businesses with few employees and a direct, flexible approach. 2. **Machine Bureaucracy**: Large organizations that rely on standardized processes and rules. 3. **Professional Bureaucracy**: Organizations like hospitals, where skilled professionals operate with a degree of autonomy. 4. **Divisional Structure**: Larger firms divided into semi-autonomous units, focusing on products or regions. 5. **Adhocracy**: Dynamic, project-based organizations emphasizing innovation and adaptability. These configurations help understand how organizations function and align with their goals.
