A useful introduction to, and a practical academic text on, the process of assessing how to structure an organisation.
Considers structure through the components of complexity (the degree of specialisation and spans of control), formalisation (the degree of standarisation through selection, roles, policies and training) and centralisation. This then leads to an overview of organisational design options. This book also includes a number of case studies (though now most are dated) to help illustrate the concepts.
Overall, an informative introduction.
