These problems are likely to occur with professionalism and a role culture where job demarcations are
felt to be important. When the organization reaches a certain size, they are likely to be exacerbated
especially if it has developed a wide range of products or services. Burns and Stalker (1961) devised the
term ‘mechanistic’ for firms where the interconnections are strong as they are unsuited to changeable
environments and non-routine technologies.
