Two clear maps help you understand how a company runs: the traditional organizational chart and a policy structure diagram.

This book explains how each view highlights different design questions and how they relate to strategy and structure.

Using a case from the data communications field, the text shows how the chart focuses on reporting lines and responsibilities, while the policy structure diagram emphasizes decisionmaking processes and information flow. It also describes how these representations can be turned into practical tools, including simulations, to test how changes in policy or structure affect behavior and performance.

Learn how organizational structure and policy design interact to shape decisions and outcomes.
See why different diagrams can spark different design ideas and conversations with executives and consultants.
Discover how simulation models become learning laboratories to explore policy changes before implementing them.
Explore a real-world case showing how different representations reveal design opportunities and tradeoffs.

Ideal for readers of organizational design and strategy who want practical frameworks for thinking about structure, policy, and change.
