Organizational Structuralism: A Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Hypothesis for the Interpretation of Organizational Phenomena [Paperback]

In an era in which leadership and change management models, tools and development schemes based on soft skills constitute mainstream thought, it has become ever more necessary to develop a scientific and rigorous approach to the life of an organization that can overcome the challenges of different cultural approaches and socio-environmental limitations. In this ground-breaking new book, the author puts forward a universal model for designing an organization. The model is based upon first principles, theoretical properties as well as empirical approaches to organizational development so as to form a new model under the name of Organizational Structuralism. By deploying this new model, the author argues that organizations will be able to design a new organization from its foundations, improve and change fundamental organizational structures, define and fine-tune key performance indicators and enhance their competitive advantages. Additionally, the model proposed in this book will allow practitioners to be able to respond effectively and efficiently to every disruptive or non-continuous evolutionary change caused either by the digital transformation or by geopolitical of organizations.
