Tendencias modernas de diseño organizacional: redes organizacionales internacionales en zonas regionales

Abstract

The present document seeks to analyze and link qualitatively how the most recent organizational design model, that is "the organizational structure in network", becomes the strategic option, the structural and operational archetype for all activities for entrepreneurial internationalization (international businesses), focused in the Latin American region. To that effect, there are two categories of analysis used: the first is called organizational conditioners whose variables would be strategy, environment, technology and organizational culture; the second, called organizational components, looks into departmentalization variables, activities of line and staff, the activities description, hierarchy chain, centralization/decentralization and communication. To illustrate the theoretic concepts established there are three cases of entrepreneurial corporations - one is of Peruvian origin, the second is German, and the third is Mexican - with activities in the Latin American region, where the peculiar application of the corporative configuration of the network model can be noticed.
