Coordination between the Organizational Strategy and Strategy of Structure by the Use of Strategic Reference Points (SRPs)

Abstract

Since the purpose of any organization is the basis for making its general and practical strategy, the researchers have tried to describe three strategic coordination models by three rational, natural, and compound approaches to study the model of coordination between strategy and structure. Having a strategic look, this research is trying to give an answer to this question: "How can we coordinate the strategy of the organization and that of the structure?" Providing an answer to this question will help achieve objectives such as integration, coordination, and collaboration in a condition where the managers are seriously worried about how to increase productivity and practice of the organization.
The results of the studies on the strategic coordination model in this research indicated that highly mechanical structures are in line with defensive strategy, mechanical structures are coherent with reactive strategy, and organic structure are consistent with futurologist structures. The final result indicated that if the relationship between the strategy of organizations and their structures are defined, the productivity and the practice of organizations increase.
