Which business structures are best suited to the unpredictable 21st century? How can a company, division, or department reconfigure itself with minimum disruption and maximum impact? Every executive grapples with problems of restructuring--and most need hands-on guidance to solve them. This eye-opening book shows business leaders at all levels how to examine their choices by leading them systematically through these fundamental questions: * Should we restructure to meet our strategic goals? * What are the best structural options to achieve our success? * What lateral processes are necessary to support the new structure? * How do we staff the restructured organization to optimize results? Based on Galbraith's world-renowned approach, this guide includes examples and worksheets that pilot readers through the essential steps of organizational design.

 Great Book
This is a fantastic hands on manual for experienced or novice practitioners. The chapters are easy to understand with great case study examples.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding dynamics and change within an organization.
 Easier Said than Done
Yes, it's easy to read and the forms look great. In practice, I've found that the flow and logic needs to be more tailored to the client. In some stages the flow seemd awkward, and didn't necessarily work. When you get that "confused look" from your client, and feel it yourself, you'll understand what I mean. I have an MSOD and have practiced 10 years. My sense is that my experience is not totally unique and I could see a revised version in the making.
 Designing Dynamic Organizations
This is a great practical book on the steps one should take in organization al restructure. The templates are very easy to follow and the language is easy to understand.
Simple and Pragmatic
Jay Galbraith is a well-respected, research-based practitioner in the field of Organizational Design. Companies of all sizes and industries have been using the STAR model as a guide to thinking systemically when designing their organizations. I personally have been using this model as an internal OD consultant/practitioner over the last decade. This book's material continues to be very relevant and current for today's leaders. This book should serve as a basic foundation for any OD/HR professional or manager/leader desiring to create a vital, sustainable, reconfigurable, and dynamic organization. What the reader can expect is simplistic language and pragmatic tools and methods. This is a true workbook. If you are sifting through books and don't know where to start...start here!
Atilano, MBA
It's a good book for the basic understanding of organization design. It's easy to read and easy to follow the concepts and theories. As a Professor I strongly recommend it.
