nintroduction The case study presented by Microsoft and the scrutiny of the Department of Justice and Congress constitutes an excellent starting point for establishing the nature and premises of organizational design and theory as it allows the examination from both the public point of view and the economic aspects of the situation in which Microsoft finds itself. While questions of organizational structure and corporate policies relating to costs, revenues, profits, and market structure are inherent to the study of any company or organization, it is important to recognize the unique aspects of Microsoft. Microsoft, undeniably, has a larger presence across the globe. the computer software industry and the users of its many products as its operating system defines, to a large extent, how work is done in the modern business world. With a company that has virtually always been in a "near-monopoly" situation like Microsoft, it's no surprise that there are many who believe the company should be split into two (or more) independent organizations. However, this has little to do with the reality of organizational design that Microsoft Corporation actually is. Most companies were born out of the constant pursuit of profit and how to grow that profit every year and Bill Gates and Microsoft are certainly no exception. rule. In fact, they are the personification of the rule! Such a single-minded pursuit of ever-increasing profits has resulted in large, vertically integrated organizations. But it is essential to keep in mind the fact that economic growth does not end with the accumulation of profits. In the case of the computer and software industry, growth has come in the form of dependence on external economies, that is, keeping pace with the technological progress of other companies in the same industry rather than each company going its own way. The microcomputer companies that remain active to this day are those that see computers as open machines, ready to be updated and improved from time to time, keeping pace with current technological advances. Once again, Microsoft presents the definitive example of such a company. Organizational Design for the 21st Century Any company or business process has had to go through some level of reengineering or reconstruction to adapt to the management revolution of the 1990s and the transition to the 21st century... middle of paper... faithful and large plans for the future. For both start-ups and existing businesses, entrepreneurship pursued in the pursuit of business opportunities stimulates business expansion, technological advancement and wealth creation. The Connor Model would certainly verify this basic fact. To adequately plan for the future, especially in terms of developing appropriate organizational design plans for the future, Microsoft has had to broaden its collective understanding of information and other aspects associated with non-information. bureaucratic organizational design in order to adequately engage with the ideas advocated by Connor. Clearly, current changes in organizational environments are disturbing the age-old dominance of bureaucratic organization, but a company like Microsoft has not had to deal with such narrow “traditions.” However, it is also important that you do not become "married" to the unique traditions and processes you have established. Considering the company's past performance and results, regardless of government decisions, it is likely that Microsoft will continue to evolve in a way that ensures its success.
