Abstract:
Most enterprises in the Serbian economy are guided, structured and culturally oriented in a way that accepts only minor changes. When such companies face with the challenges from the environment, they respond in an inadequate manner and with a delay. There is an increasing need for the enterprise to have a strategy which is harmonized with the structure that allows normal functioning and, on the other hand, to has an ability to notice and make innovative changes. The organization is successful if its organizational structure allows it through the continuous process of designing and process of making decisions about a number of issues with regards on the form, system and characteristics of the organization (enterprise) of machine industry. Regardless of the size and diversification of the organization, when designing new solutions an attention should be paid to the future of the organization for the challenges yet to come, but also on the motivation of individuals related to the organization's goals. Today doing business is more complex and constantly seeks creation of added value and competitive advantages. New opportunities for better business are within the organizations and through the achievement of efficiency and effectiveness by involving all stakeholders.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the socio-technical structures prevailing in technical organizations. It explores relationships that exist between technical and social structures and imperative project management practices, using statistical techniques. The study investigates links between organization design structures, project management performance, multiple dimensions of project managers’ competencies including personal, business knowledge, interpersonal and managerial competencies and project performance. A systematic teardown approach was adopted for the analysis of various competencies. The statistical analysis technique, ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) was conducted to validate various factors. The results of statistical analysis has shown that organization design structures are not the major determinants, only organizational design structures with functionally structured resource distributions are established as determinants of project management performance. Furthermore, it was proven that the project managers’ competencies have a major influence on project performance. This study will help to improve performance of technical projects and will lay a foundation for the framework of improvement and development of organizations.

Indeed, organizational motivationis related closely to some fundamental questions in organizationtheory in particular and to public administration in general. Such questionsfocus on how organizations can be made efficient and responsiveor accountable to their clients. Since organizations are simply humancollectivities, in essence these questions apply to organizational membersand, in particular, to what motivates them to be efficient and responsive.Although various models of organization have addressed, eitherimplicitly or explicitly, the question of motivation in organizations, theyhave yet to come up with satisfactory answers.

Previous analysis of marketing organization has focused on the coordination of marketing activities and on organizational forms used to accomplish this, while ignoring the organization of marketing tasks at the work unit level. This article develops a contingency approach to the structure and performance of marketing activities at the work unit level, as well as higher levels within organizations, by blending the theoretical implications of traditional organization theory and transaction cost economics. Four propositions are developed to explain the effectiveness, efficiency, and adaptiveness of various marketing organizational structures. In addition, four basic structures of marketing organization are also explored.

In this article, we review and summarize the literature on crossfunctional organization forms that has been published since 1976. We focus on the commonalities of the literatures that deal with matrix organization and project management. With a definition of cross-functional organization in hand, we review the literature for advantages and disadvantages of these organization forms, ending the section with a discussion of the great needfor empirical research to resolve numerous questions and paradoxes. Finally, we review a model for effective cross-functional organizations, comprising environmental influences, organizational characteristics, project characteristics, project team characteristics, project leader characteristics, and project effectiveness. Each section ends with a discussion of needed research, and the article ends with a call for research and theory building regarding cross-functional organizations, which continue to grow in application importance.

Abstract:
Kentucky has a rich cultural and artistic tapestry that is part of the economic future of the state. An important consideration of this future is the artist-member organizations that serve Kentucky creatives and how they work together collaboratively, both internally and externally. The objective of this study was to see how ten different organizations viewed themselves and interacted with their communities in the way in which they are structure, or lack a definite structure as is the case with several different groups. Through web analysis and a series of interviews with organizations that provide benefits to Kentucky artists, we learn that there are no strict definitions to what these organizations are and that to continue, they will have to continue to become flexible and open to changes that may come their way.

Abstract:

Background: Today companies operate in a market that increasingly is becoming global, and where technological development is advancing ever faster. Global competition, shorter product life cycles and constant reorganization of business puts increasing demands on companies and projects that are under their control. As a result of this trend more and more organizations in different industries are working on a project basis.

Objective: To identify and address the strengths and weaknesses of project based organizations.

Boundaries: Three business units within different companies will be analyzed in order to deduct a conclusion to the research question.

Method: A qualitative method has been used. The empirical material was analyzed based on theory.

Results: A project based organization promotes higher flexibility in comparison to a functional organization. The organizational structure of a project based organization provides employees with interesting tasks and the possibility to work in and learn from cross functional teams. Although this has a negative impact on ones work life balance. A key weakness is the organizational integration, which includes: knowledge management, implementation of strategies and focus beyond projects, resource coordination and human resource management.

Proposal for further research: An in-depth study on how project based organizations promote innovation.

Markets and their operation is of vital importance for economic efficiency and growth. In this thesis I analyse market strategies underlying the important factors that guarantee the optimality of firms' investments for three different market environments. The first chapter refers on how we can use state-of-art instruments by the transmission network of the electricity market to induce the generators to adopt optimal investment planning. Coordinating the timing and location of new production facilities is one of the challenges of liberalized power sectors. It is complicated by the presence of transmission bottlenecks, oligopolistic competition, and the unknown prospects of low-carbon technologies. We build a model encompassing a late and early investment stage, two technologies, and a single transmission bottleneck and compare dynamic efficiency of several market designs. Allocating network access on a short-term competitive basis distorts investment decisions as firms will pre-empt competitors by investing early. Compensating early investors for future network congestion, as is the case in the E.U., only exacerbates this problem. Dynamic efficiency is restored with long-term transmission rights that can be resold on a secondary market. As early investment lowers the resale value of the transmission rights, firms will invest optimally. We show that dynamic efficiency does not require firms to trade physical rights for accessing the transmission line, but financial rights on receiving the scarcity revenues generated by the transmission line suffice. The second chapter focuses on investments on innovation and the way they are particularly affected for different types of industries by product market competition and the existence of financial constraints. It illustrates that, besides its well-studied impact on the incentives to innovate, product market competition also affects the financial capacity to innovate. As innovation projects are by definition risky and external financing is subject to moral hazard concerns, lenders may be reluctant to finance the projects of firms that are not considered credible borrowers. I develop a step-by-step innovation model and show how product market competition may restrict the ability of firms to be credible borrowers. This effect can become the main driver of R&D activities when firms are financial constrained and market competition fierce. It is the follower firms in sectors with high technology dispersion that are mostly affected. Moreover, for intermediate levels of competition, financial constraints induce firms in industries with low technology dispersion to invest more in R&D and move toward the technological frontier as they reduce the ability of their competitors that left behind to innovate. The last chapter focuses on competition for prominence in the organic results of a search engine which account for more than 80-90% of online traffic. Firms decide about how to allocate their investments between search engine optimization strategy and improvement of their products and services' quality. Using a monopolistic competition model with consumer search we evaluate the impact of the search engine algorithm on firms' optimal allocation of investments, estimating how quality is affected by the presence of search engine optimization techniques. We find that despite the additional investment cost, search engine optimization helps search engines to rank more efficiently firms and consequently it induces firms to invest more in the quality of their products. Consumer surplus also increases as consumers find easier good matches to their queries at minimum search cost. Under particular conditions total welfare also increases

In this research, we aim to understand the organizational structures adopted by software-producing organizations for managing IT technical teams in a continuous delivery context. Following Grounded Theory guidelines, we interviewed 46 IT professionals to investigate how organizations pursuing continuous delivery organize their development and operations teams. Among our results, we discovered four organizational structures: (1) siloed departments, (2) classical DevOps, (3) cross-functional teams, and (4) platform teams. After having discovered such structures and their properties, we describe, in this paper, our plans to better understand which contextual properties and forces lead an organization to adopt an organizational structure to the detriment of the other ones.

Abstract:
[This paper is published in the Interdisciplinary Journal of Information, Knowledge, and Management, Volume 11.] This paper reports on research with a broad objective to examine the relationship between two organizational entities, the formally structured organization and informal organizational structures, in a changing operational environment, more specifically during military deployments. The paper draws on organizational and complexity paradigms; based on empirical evidence obtained through qualitative techniques, it describes mechanisms that enable a symbiotic relationship between these two organizational structures in a complex operational landscape. Substantive findings provide insights into the dynamics of the interactions between these structures and illuminate the relationship between three enabling factors – accountability, responsible autonomy, and command and control arrangements – that need to be considered to fully exploit the strengths inherent in both formal and informal structures. Based on these findings, a model for enhancement of organizational agility in response to changes in a complex operational environment is described. The model is predicated on feedback and mutual adjustment of the organization, institution and individual through sensemaking; it illustrates the dynamic nature of interactions that are required for such a response.

Abstract:
Abstract Knowledge management is the process of defining, structuring, storing, and sharing knowledge and experiences of employees within an organization to increase workplace efficacy and improve general decision-making capabilities. This paper aims to shed light on a structured production engineering knowledge management program and its initiatives for enhancing an organization's performance with associated factors such as learning from remote locations and the availability of subject matter experts. Knowledge management structure has three main pillars: organizational culture, governance, and technology, which are all integrated to obtain an effective production engineering knowledge management structure. The cultural pillar is captured by formulating a two-year plan and implementing knowledge management process requirements, benchmarking the best practices, and revising the target on a regular basis. Technology is captured through the production engineering community of practice, where people gather in one place to share knowledge and best practices. Governance has a structured architectural plan where the key performance indicators of production engineering knowledge assets and events are monitored regularly. The Knowledge Asset Index was exceeded due to the implementation of several initiatives such as the incubation of specific instruction manuals for Intelligent Field equipment, which aims to address layouts of roles and responsibilities involving all concerned organizations to maintain healthy Intelligent Field equipment. For the Knowledge Events Index, the organization's subject matter expert conducted an in-house Intelligent Field training course and technical publication writing workshops to improve all engineers' awareness and training for more than 200 professionals. With an excellent implementation of the production engineering community of practice plans, the knowledge management team won an award due to a remarkable participation index increase. The results show that well-planned knowledge management has a number of advantages to an organization. Some of these benefits include increased workplace efficiency, which allows consistency in information provided to knowledge recipients, improved skill growth and development in employees, and improved decision making in the organization. This paper will serve as a motivation to knowledge management structures by implementing knowledge performance measures pertaining to production engineering. The benefits of this process to future quantifications are that it allows even quicker decision-making skills in the workplace and works to reduce organizations' training times, which can result in bridging knowledge gaps.

Abstract:
As observers to the intersectional fields of culture, education, and social change, Creative Generation witnessed the chosen organizational structure of “networks” come into vogue – particularly as smaller, community-based organizations have begun to participate in larger-scale, collaborative initiatives. In almost all examples, the individuals and organizations involved do their collaborative work through a “network,” using any number of connections and patterns. This qualitative inquiry sought to understand how applying Network Theory to organizational structures can cultivate the conditions to support young creatives. Through literature and conducting interviews with leaders of diverse networks in the arts and cultural education fields, this project provides an overview of Network Theory and examines examples of various models. This report proposes the following set of provocations for the field to interrogate the use of Network Theory in their projects’ implementation: strong connections between the network and its participants, shared power among network leadership and participants, clear expectations about funding, and specific role for young creatives in decision-making.

Abstract:
One of the well-known results of the theory of management is the fact, that multi-stage hierarchical organization of management is unstable. Hence, the ideas expressed in a number of works by Don Tapscott on advantages of network organization of businesses over vertically integrated ones is clear. While studying the basic tendencies of business organization in the conditions of globalization, computerization and internetization of the society and the results of the financial activities of the well-known companies, the authors arrive at the conclusion, that such companies, as IBM, Boeing, Mercedes-Benz and some others companies have not been engaged in their traditional business for a long time. Their partner networks performs this function instead of them. The companies themselves perform the function of system integrators. The Tapscott’s idea finds its confirmation within the framework of a new powerful direction of the development of the modern interdisciplinary science – the theory of the complex networks (CN) [2]. CN-s are multifractal objects, the loss of multifractality being the indicator of the system transition from more complex state into more simple state. We tested the multifractal properties of the data using the wavelet transform modulus maxima approach in order to analyze scaling properties of our company. Comparative analysis of the singularity spectrumf(®), namely, the difference between maximum and minimum values of ® (∆ = ®max ¡ ®min) shows that IBM company is considerably more fractal in comparison with Apple Computer. Really, for it the value of ∆ is equal to 0.3, while for the vertically integrated company Apple it only makes 0.06 – 5 times less. The comparison of other companies shows that this dependence is of general character. Taking into consideration the fact that network organization of business has become dominant in the last 5-10 years, we carried out research for the selected companies in the earliest possible period of time which was determined by the availability of data in the Internet, or by historically later beginning of stock trade of computer companies. A singularity spectrum of the first group of companies turned out to be considerably narrower, or shifted toward the smaller values of ® in the pre-network period. The latter means that dynamic series were antipersistant. That is, these companies‘ management was rigidly controlled while the impact of market mechanisms was minimized. In the second group of companies if even the situation did changed it did not change for the better. In addition, we discuss applications to the construction of portfolios of stock that have a stable ratio of risk to return.
