Briefly explain the seven differences between mechanistic and organic structure.



The mechanistic structure is based on a more modernist perspective and includes a hierarchical structure of authority and control, high formalization (definition of roles, responsibilities, no change in job roles), centralized decision making (guys on top make decisions), standardization set of implemented rules, close supervision and present authorities, vertical communication (authority rules), and status oriented. While the organic structure is low formalization, decentralized decision making, high horizontal and vertical integration, tasks and responsibilities are redefined depending on the situation.
