    • In organizational theory, organizational analysis or industrial analysis is the process of reviewing the development, work environment, personnel, and operation of a business or another type of association.[1] This review is often performed in response to crisis, but may also be carried out as part of a demonstration project, in the process of taking a program to scale, or in the course of regular operations. Conducting a periodic detailed organizational analysis can be a useful way for management to identify problems or inefficiencies that have arisen in the organization but have yet to be addressed, and develop strategies for resolving them.[1]

      Organizational analysis focuses on the structure and design of the organization and how the organization's systems, capacity and functionality influence outputs. Additional internal and external factors are also accounted for in assessing how to improve efficiency. Undertaking an organizational analysis is helpful in assessing an organization's current well-being and capacity, and deciding on a course of action to improve the organization's long-term sustainability. A restructuring of an Organization may become necessary when either external or internal forces have created a problem or opportunity for improvement in efficiency and effectiveness.

      When performing an organizational analysis, many details emerge about the functions and capacity of the organization. All of these details can make pinpointing what is efficient and inefficient difficult. Using theoretical organizational models can help sort out the information, and make it easier to draw connections. After working through these theoretical models, the organizations present situation is more adequately addressed, and the trajectory of the organization can be more fully determined.

    • QUOTE: ...
      1. A bias for action - a preference for doing something - anything - rather than sending a question through cycles and cycles of analyses and committee reports
      2. Staying close to the customer - learning customers' preferences and catering to them
      3. Autonomy and entrepreneurship - breaking the corporation into small companies and encouraging them to think independently and competitively (aka, "split-up"[1])
      4. Productivity through people - creating in all employees the awareness that their best efforts are essential and that they will share in the rewards of the company's success
      5. Hands-on, value driven - insisting that executives keep in touch with the firm's essential business
      6. Stick to the knitting - remaining with the business; "The company knows best."
      7. Simple form, lean staff - few administrative layers, few people at the upper levels
      8. Simultaneous loose–tight properties - fostering a climate where there is dedication to central values of the company combined with tolerance for all employees who accept these values
