Organization Design: A Participative Multivariate Approach.

Summary: Pending
"The objective of this study was the design of purposeful subunits through the use of multivariate, participative approaches based on a synthesis of the rational and natural system models of organization and on objectives of subunit formation discussed by Thompson (1967) and Lawrence and Lorsch (1967 a,b). Because of a unique opportunity, the authors were able to make a longitudinal test of the predictive validity of multivariate analysis. At this time, testing the effec- tiveness of designs is difficult because there are no test sites nor good measures of purposefulness. Such a test would be possible only after managers became interested enough in the objective to try it..."
