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.
