| Abstract: | In the design of organization structure, the important factors to be considered are the quality, the speed, and the cost of the staff of job planning. A continuous qualitative model of a pure hierarchy is developed. The aim of this quantitative model is to minimize costs, which are the sum of wage costs and costs caused by delays in decision making. It offers a more concrete discussion on the comparative statics of the optimum structure, and provides a liberal interpretation of the organizational phenomenon. |
