organizational structure
Ask yourself why a talk on design relates to a topic on organizational structure
But Mintzberg is something we need to read to talk about it today
Mintzberg, H. (1979).
The Structuring of Organizations: A Synthesis of the Research.
Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall.
Chapter 2, Five basic parts of the organization, pages 18-21 only
You don't have to read this unless you wish to, but we might touch upon them in conversation
Choo, C. W. (2006).
The knowing organization: How organizations use information to construct meaning, create knowledge, and make decisions.
New York: Oxford University Press.
Chapter 1, "The Knowing Organization: A Holistic View of How Organizations Use Information."
1-28
