STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE IN A POST PANDEMIC ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
The focus of this research was on the relationship between structural design and corporate governance in a post-pandemic environment. The research offered a conceptualization of the related concepts, specifically highlighting on the implications of corporate governance and the pandemic on the behaviour and well-being of organizations. Types of structural designs such as the functional, divisional and geographical structural designs were examined. Based on the review of literature, it was noted that the restructuring and modification of structural designs is necessary in light of the emerging new realities and crisis occasioned by the pandemic. Such restructures enable improved role performance and the efficiency of organizational systems – thus promoting outcomes of enhanced organizational effectiveness, competitiveness and productivity. Hence in conclusion, it was affirmed that designs such as reflected in the functional, divisional and geographical structural designs should be advanced the necessary considerations in line with the changes in the environment of the organization for improved outcomes of corporate governance.
