Mintzberg’s Organizational Structures

Mintzberg’s organizational structures describe how companies organize their work and authority. There are five main types: 1. Simple – a small, flexible business with a central leader. 2. Machine Bureaucracy – a large, formal organization with clear rules and specialized tasks. 3. Professional Bureaucracy – organizations like hospitals or universities where skilled professionals have control. 4. Divisional – a company divided into semi-autonomous units each focusing on a product or region. 5. Adhocracy – a flexible, innovative structure used in dynamic industries, emphasizing teamwork and adaptability. These types help organizations operate efficiently based on their size and goals.
