in the remaining tasks, and so it goes. The larger an organization is and the more activities it entails, the more specialized
and structured it becomes. Thus, specialization and structure
are the natural outgrowths of increasing size and complexity
and one encounters them in all large organizations.
Unfortunately, there are some difficulties associated with
structure, and inflexibility is one of them. Once a structure is
established, it is hard to change, and inflexibility can deter an
organization in its attempt to adapt to environmental changes.
Another problem is that parochialism tends to set in and
cause dysfunctional conflict. Members of squadron A tend to
think the whole organization operates to support them
regardless of the needs of squadron B. Maintenance and supply argue over who is responsible for an aircraft being out of
commission. Each specialized area tends to emphasize its
interest and forget the objectives of the larger organization.
The structure of an organization should fit its objectives.
A Strategic Air Command wing and a Military Airlift
Command wing have different structures because their
objectives are different. Leaders are challenged to cope with
the fit of structure and objectives in their organizations.
