When it comes to good management, it is difficult to emphasize enough how important it is to start with the basics of understanding just the appropriate design, structure and culture to achieve that organization's goals. Experts say that organizational structure and culture should work in tandem, as a team within the organization. It is important for organizations “to understand the difference between the two aspects because they can have a great influence on the success or failure of the company”. John (2013). Organizational culture derives from the founders of the organization and the missions and visions they originally developed. When a company strays too far from its original missions and visions or lacks them altogether, it is more difficult for managers to lead a specific culture. Without culture it is difficult to have a structure. When an organization establishes its mission and vision, the type of work it does, and the type of working environment it wishes to adapt, this then allows the development of structure or design for the organization. This is the importance of culture and structure working in tandem. Organizational culture is described by (Coulter 2013, p.1) as “the shared values, principles, traditions and ways of doing things that influence how organizational members act”. This is what makes everything inside work. Organizational structure is “organizational design that is the process by which the structure of an organization is changed or put into place.” There are six principles for successful organizational design and structure: job specialization, departmentalization, authority and responsibility, decentralization and centralization of control span, and formalization....... middle of document......rance (2007-2013 ).
