Morita, Michiya with Nobuhide Tanaka, "A Simulation Analysis for Renovation of the Hierarchical Structure", 1992
ua435
The hierarchical structure of pyramidal shape which is adopted by most of relatively large organizations is now the target of renovation to raise the capability of adaptation in changing environments. The objective of this study is to obtain relevant insights for redesigning the structure. A simulation analysis is tried to investigate information processing properties that determine to a great extent the effectiveness of the organization. Several derivatives of the hierarchical structure, which are realistically likely candidates from which appropriate choices would be made, are the targets of the analysis. A set of implications will be provided as the results of the analysis.
