Abstract

The dynamism and unpredictability of the environment raises a problem of adaptation of the company to the changes involved. The fast adaptation of the organization to changes can only be assured by flexible organizational structures, which is why the type of structure becomes extremely important. The flexibility of the structure depends on the diversification and type of production as well as on the method of structural synthesis. In this paper we consider the problem of organizational structuring from the standpoint of optimization, and present the method of "step-by-step" optimization, based on the use of cluster analysis algorithms. This method permits the structure to be optimized and estimate at the different levels of hierarchy during the process of structuring, and the process of reorganization to be initiated from any level of hierarchy. This makes it possible to quickly analyse the capabilities of adaptation of the organization to changes in functioning conditions.
