Henry Mintzberg is one of the most influencial people in management literature. In his book Structuring of Organizations he classifies organization in accordance with their shapes. The classification is still valid and useful to understand the dynamic of these complex structures. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to have further knowledge on organizations. Every line has to be read over to fully utilize it.
