Features: This book, based on summarizing and systematizing the theory of organizational knowledge foundation, analyzes the relationship between knowledge and the elements and structural characteristics of the organization, starting from the nature and characteristics of knowledge. It constructs a brand-new theoretical model for organizational design and applies this model to test existing major organizational structures and established organizational design theories from both practical and theoretical perspectives. The conclusion drawn is: the evolution of organizational structure from simple/stable/mechanistic to complex/dynamic/organic is essentially a result of the organization's adaptation to changes in the total amount of knowledge, knowledge structure, and knowledge characteristics.
