CLASSIFICATION OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
There are four types of organization cultures:
Power cultures. In these cultures self-reliant and highly competitive self-development provedes the basis of relations. A manager's success is related to their charisma and influence, rather than to their knowlege and experience. The style of the chief executive is the model for other managers. In organizations of this type managers need to be tough-minded and aggressive.
Role cultures. In these cultures a manager's role is completely related to their place within a centralized system. Their success depends on how well they adhere to rules, procedures, and precedents. Individualism and aggression are not valued in these cultures. Employees in these organization should not exceed the limits of their roles.
Task cultures. In organizations of this type they value everything that makes it possible " to get the work done". The main concern in these organizations is connected with successful completion of their projects. A manager's success is related to their knowlege and experience required to achieve tasks, rather than to meet the requirements of their role.
Individual cultures. In organizations of this type freedom of expression is valued the most. Effectiveness of any activity in these organizations is rated by how much the activity satisfies the staff, rather than by how well it conforms to business plans. Independence, creativity, and experiment are also valued in these organizations.
