New Insights into Organization Structure and Business Process: An Integrative Point of View

Organization structure and business process have been subjected to management study and practice for decades. However, the relationship between them is a topic that has received only limited and fragmented theoretical treatment. This paper proposes an integrative view with the utilization of a new emergent theory, namely the total relationship flow management theorems. We conclude that organization structure and business process are both governed by the total relationship flows, which may shed a new light on related discussions.
