The model of the relationship between types of organizational management structures, their determining factors and their characterizing parameters

Purpose: is to present the author's model of the relationship between types of organizational structures of companies management, their determining factors and characterizing their parameters. Methods: the research methods used were systematic, analytical, graphical, and inductive. Expert assessment methods were used in the ranking of the impact of factors on the change of management structures and in the development of the model. Results: factors that determine the choice of the type of organizational management structure and the direction of its improvement have been identified, classified and ranked. Factors were divided into five groups during systematisation: 1) general, directly influencing management structures; 2) caused by changes in production structures; 3) associated with changes in the management system; 4) influencing the change of structure, but generally determined by it; 5) caused by changes in the external business environment. To improve management structures, the neural network model was developed showing how types of management structures are linked, what factors determine them and how they are characterised. Conclusions and Relevance: the study identified key factors determining management structures. It was found that the most significant of them are: the size, complexity and scale of the business entity's activities; goals, strategies, principles of its functioning; type of activity and the level of its specialization. The model in the article allows characterise each management structure and determine how to improve them in a changing business environment. The developed model creates conditions for managers to make adequate decisions on the modification of individual elements and parameters of the management structure for the further successful development of the company.
