Normative, coercive, and utilitarian and the three formal organizational structures.
When five structures are involved, we are commonly talking about Mintzberg's Five Types of Organizational Structure.
Entrepreneurial - A generally loose organizational structure driven by creativity, yet often featuring low discipline. A tech startup managed by its founders is one example.
Professional - Featuring a moderate level of bureaucracy and driven by professional and competent workers, often with highly specialized skills.
Machine - Characterized by a high level of bureaucracy. Feature high structure and are often long-lived, but have limited openness to new ideas. Government agencies are examples.
Divisional - Typical of large corporation which divide themselves into more focused business unit, each responsible for a distinct set of product lines.
Innovative - A structure designed to allow for brand new leadership styles focused on decentralized decision making. Often seen in emergent industries.
