Abstract

The article examines the interpretation of the concept of «organizational design». The study found that when interpreting it, scholars mainly adhere to two approaches: static and dynamic. Supporters of the former tend to view organizational design as the construction of organizational structures (organizational structure and management structure). In our opinion, in a changing external environment, it is more appropriate to consider organizational design from the standpoint of a dynamic approach as a constant process of large and small changes that occur in the management of an organization and its structure. Recently, «organizational design» has been used as an identical concept to «organizational design». It is proposed to consider organizational design (or organizational design) as a process of building or improving a formal organization in the course of finding a match between the key elements of the organization (organizational structure and management structure, personnel, tasks, decisionmaking and incentive systems, informal organization and organizational culture) and its strategy, taking into account environmental factors. The goal of organisational design is to develop a structure that best meets the organisation's strategic goals and objectives, taking into account the internal and external factors that affect it. The object of organisational design is the organisation itself. Organisational design is an important part of effective strategic management and cannot be a one-off event for a number of reasons. First, the growth of organizations necessitates the decentralization of power in order to create organizational prerequisites for delegating decision-making authority to locations closer to problem areas. Secondly, different types of work require different units, and since work is constantly changing, these changes are reflected in the units. Third, the organizational structure must be consistent with the chosen strategy. When an organization's strategy changes, the chances of success of the new strategy are enhanced with the support of organizational design. Fourth, since technology is an important part of any organization, as the organization's technology changes, information changes are required. Technology-related changes necessitate adequate changes in structure. The organization must adapt its structure (internal organization) and management processes to all these changes, and since such changes are constant and not always predictable, they require further post-implementation research.
