Advantages :
The bias of the authors is that culture is more important than structure
since it more directly impacts behavior. A positive organizational
culture can compensate for the inherent weaknesses of the formal
structure. For example a functional or matrix structure can be effective
if the norms and customs of the organization value teamwork and
effective problem-solving. Conversely, a functional or matrix structure
is likely to be disastrous in a negative culture that encourages
competition and looking out only for yourself.
