Mintzberg's Organizational Types

Mintzberg's Organizational Types describe different ways organizations are structured based on how tasks, authority, and communication are arranged. The main types include the Simple Structure, where a single leader makes decisions; the Machine Bureaucracy, with standardized routines and clear hierarchies; the Professional Bureaucracy, relying on skilled professionals with autonomous work; the Divisionalized Form, divided into semi-autonomous units; and the Adhocracy, characterized by flexibility and innovation. Each structure suits different organizational goals and environments, balancing control, specialization, and adaptability to achieve efficiency and respond to changing needs.
