| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of downsizing strategy on dimensions and types of organizational structure. Four downsizing strategies are developed to address organization and environment decline. Understanding where and how these strategies modify an organization's activities helps clarify how downsizing impacts organization structure. Propositions are offered that show how downsizing can result in both mechanistic and organic shifts in organization structure. |
