Why are mechanistic and organic structures suited to different organizational environments?
We don't have organic phones .
A tree is an organic lifeform while a rock is a non-living non-organic structure.
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).
Mechanistic Organisation is like a machine, difficult to change. Bureaucratic & stable - (gov policy, technolgy, competition). Organisation seeks loyalty and obedience. Organic Organisation As a culture are living and responsive to change. Consultation & involvement in decisions.
Wal-Mart's organizational structure is organic model because Wal-Mart's structure is flat, uses cross-hierarchical and cross-functional team, possesses a comprehensive information network (using lateral and upward communication as well as downward), and involves high participation in decision making.
An organic disease is any disease in which there is a physical change in the structure of an organ such as cancer.Non-organic disorders manifest themselves by distressing experiences (anxiety) or undesirable behavior (as abuse of alcohol).
Mechanistic model is synonymous with the bureaucracy in that it has extensive departmentalization, high formalization, a limited information network (mostly downward communication) and little participation by low-level members in decision making.While, organic model is flat, uses cross hierarchical and cross-functional teams, has low formalization, possesses a comprehensive information network (using lateral and upward communication as well as downward), and involves high parcitipation in decision-making.
Mechanistic structures are suited for stable environments where efficiency and consistency are important, as they rely on clear hierarchical communication and standardized processes. In contrast, organic structures are suited for dynamic environments where flexibility, innovation, and adaptability are crucial, as they emphasize decentralized decision-making and collaboration. Organizations may benefit from a blend of mechanistic and organic elements depending on the nature of their environment and goals.
There isn't a difference becaue there both the same.
Yes, a mixture of organic and mechanistic structures can work together in an organization. Organizations can blend both structures to capitalize on the strengths of each, allowing for flexibility in adapting to change while also maintaining stability and efficiency in operations. Finding the right balance between the two structures is key to achieving organizational success.
Most of the time, organic and non organic food will have the same structure and teste. The organic food will be more expensive.
