Organic organization

Definition

History

Organic structures were proposed by Burns and Stalker in 1961 to explain the success of British electronics companies. Since then, organic organisation has become an integral part of non-bureaucratic organisation theory.The main pillars on which the authors based themselves to develop this new organisational concept were the following:

• Constantly adapt and redefine personal tasks through interactions with others.
• Encourages taking responsibility for solving problems, not being moved up or down the ladder.
