Working Paper
The Discipline of Organization Design
As organizations adapt to rapidly changing and increasingly demanding environments, they find themselves continually transforming themselves. This demands continual redesign of the organization. Successful organizations in the future will be flexible, dynamic configurations capable of self-designing through time in order to adapt to the environment and to increase performance. A discipline of organization design needs to be created so that organizational members and expert consultants have a systematic body of knowledge and methodologies to guide ongoing self-design processes. This discipline needs to take into account the open systems nature of organizations, and the fact that they are purposive human creations that exist through the meaning that is attached to them by their members.
