组织决策与组织结构的拟定量研究

针对现代组织所面临的是由不断增长的复杂性、竞争性和动态性所带来的高度不确定性环境特征,研究组织结构设计问题.建立了组织决策过程的一般数学模型,从决策和信息交流角度定义组织结构及其价值.采用定性与定量相结合的方法,推导出组织结构价值的定量表达式,据此分析组织结构对组织决策的影响,得到了一些对组织结构设计有意义的结论.研究表明,在不确定性环境中,决策单元之间更多的信息交流可以使组织作出更佳的决策,通信通道灵活和开放的网络组织对于通信通道固定和受限制的层次组织具有优越性.

Quasi-Quantitative Study on Organizational Decisionand Organizational Structure

Directed towards the characteristics of uncertain environment the modern organization faces, a general mathematical model of organizational decision making is established. The organizational structure and its value are investigated in the views of decision making and information communication. Integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, the quantitative expression of the organizational structure value is derived. The influence of organizational structure on organizational decision making is analyzed, while some conclusions meaningful to organizational structure design are obtained. The study shows that, in the environment of uncertainty, the more information sharing among decision units enables organization to make the better decision, and the network organization whose communication channels are flexible and open has advantage over the hierarchical organization whose communication channels are rigid and restricted.
