The Dynamics of the Change Process

Abstract

Growth at Applied Computer Science, Inc., created a conflict for the design of the organization. As a small organization, a simple configuration would be appropriate. However, management’s preference for delegation, low uncertainty avoidance, and a producer leadership style suggested more decentralization. Further, the company’s increased size indicated the organization needed more specialization and decentralization. Generally, for a decision on a suitable organizational structure. Applied Computer Science had to assess the effect of all contingency factors.
