Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Contingency approach to organizational design emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to organizational structure. The most appropriate structure for a company depends on contextual factors such as the company's size, culture, environment, technology, goals, and strategy. Therefore, contextual variables must be considered first to identify the most appropriate structure for the company. Structural, managerial, and financial variables come into play later when designing the specifics of the structure.
