Omschrijving	As organizations strive to maintain competitiveness in an increasingly complex marketplace, the (re)configuration of resources in ways that support business strategies is a much sought after goal. Organizational design can be construed as the process of (re)shaping organizational architecture (i.e., strategy, structure, people and technology) to create novel competitive capabilities. Although organization design may involve strategic decisions, it should be viewed as a route to the effective execution of business strategies. Because the organizational design process nearly always entails making trade-offs among architectural components, an in-depth appreciation of how these components impact business strategies and organizational performance will therefore allow the (re)design process to be undertaken in an informative and purposeful fashion.
