dc.description.abstractThere are many theories that take different approaches to organisational design. Research shows that many implementations fail, and theories are often academically sound at the cost of practical usability. This thesis compares three organisational design theories by way of a framework that includes necessary requirements for any design theory, as well as characteristics that aid the theory’s usefulness in practice. I find that not one of the three theories meets all requirements or possesses all characteristics. I conclude that practitioners may benefit from looking beyond just one single theory, instead taking lessons from multiple. Moreover, the organisational design literature could stand to gain from the development of a more comprehensive theoretical framework by which organisational design theories can be analysed. In performing these analyses, academics and practitioners alike may learn from the identification of gaps in existing theories and the compilation of their insights.
