Implementation of Research and Development
Implementation of research and development
To effectively understand and foster growth within companies in the
bakery sector, it is crucial to analyze both organizational structures and how to implement developed products. The author Mintzberg (2003) provides insight
by identifying five coordination mechanisms and basic components of an
organization. These components include: strategic top, middle management,
technostructure, support services, and the executive core. These mechanisms may
vary per component, depending on environmental factors. The author Daft (2001) approaches
this structure slightly differently, distinguishing: top management, middle
management, technical and support staff, administrative staff, and the
technical (executive core). Despite minor differences in perspectives, both
highlight the lack of clarity in organizational design, resulting in
configurations varying per organization. Mintzberg emphasizes that an effective
organization requires a consistent combination of design parameters and
situational factors.
Within the bakery sector, it is essential to align the organization with
both production processes and market demands. Various layout visions, such as
functional, divisional, and process-oriented structures, can be considered
depending on the organization's needs and the sector.
A well-organized bakery can not only develop innovative products but
also maintain efficient production processes. This necessitates close
integration of research and development, where the executive core produces the
product, and control mechanisms vary depending on the organizational structure.
Ensuring coherence between activities, processes, and social factors is crucial
for effective organization.
In conclusion, a deep understanding of organizational structures and the
application of research and development are both essential for the success of
bakery businesses. Only by combining a clear organizational structure with
innovative R&D practices can bakeries remain competitive and thrive.
