1. Goal Congruence
• In a goal congruent process actions people take in
accordance with their perceived self-interest are
also in best interest for the organization.
• In this imperfect world, perfect congruence does
not exist between individual and organisation.
• An adequate control system will motivate
individuals to act in best interests of organisation.
• In evaluating any management control system,
two important questions are: what action does it
motivate people to take , in their own self interest?
Are these actions in the best interest of the
organization?

which the organization is a part.

to take decisions related to a specific function
like production, marketing, finance etc.
Efficiency is an important advantage
Disadvantages include:

effectiveness of separate functional managers
2. Disputes between managers of different
functions can be resolved only at the top, even
if it has originated at much lower level
8. Types of Organisations
3. Functional structures are inadequate for a firm
with diversified products and markets
4. Such organisations tend to create “silos” for
each function, preventing cross-functional
coordination in areas like new product
development
Such problem can be solved by
supplementing vertical functional structure
with lateral cross-functional processes such as
cross-functional job rotation and team-based
rewards

• Implications for System Design:
Along with ease of control, business organizations
have other criteria also to run their businesses.
Once management has decided that a given
structure is best, all things considered, system
designer must take that structure as given.

and functional organizations provide benefit of
economies of scale.
System designer should exist to serve the system.
