....of a positive emotional climate can help firms grow by mobilizing and directing the skills and competencies of employees. Among the several dimensions types of firm growth that have been suggested and analyzed in the literature (Eisenhardt and Schoonhoven, 1990; Kimberly and Miles, 1980; Greiner, 1972; Starbuck, 1965) we find three major types of growth (Peng and Heath, 1996) a) expansion in organizational size, as measured by an increase in assets and employees, b) increases in the volume of sales, profit levels, or market activities, and c) the generation of new economic functions or more ....

....alliances with complementary resource owners (Sanchez and Heene, 1997) While the venture remains small, the entrepreneur may be able to personally monitor environmental trends and developments. However, as the organization grows, opportunity identification must be delegated to subordinates (Greiner, 1972). The total quality management (TQM) movement has always argued that employees should be involved in resource allocation decisions regardless of the size of the organization (Tonnessen and Gjefsen, 1999) The power of delegated decision making is also supported by recent work in complexity theory ....

....agents, which nobody has already tested on a large scale so far, but that will probably be necessary in the not so distant future. 8. RELATED WORK Although the literature offers many examples of typologies of organizational structures in other research fields such as enterprise management [2, 19, 28, 49, 71], oddly enough, fairly little has been published recently with respect to organizational structures in network or systems management. Before the outbreak of strongly distributed management technologies, most authors [60, 63] just presented the different management frameworks adopted by the IETF ....

Thereafter, the nature of the current research is explained, before turning to the development of a taxonomic structure and the subsequent results of this process. Life Cycle Theories Life cycle theory has many advocates: Greiner (1972), Kimberley Miles (1980) Galbraith (1982) Churchill Lewis (1983) Quinn Cameron (1983) Miller Friesen (1984) Flamholtz (1986) Scott Bruce (1987) Kazanjian (1988) and Adizes (1989) All of these examples have, in a variety of forms, suggested that businesses develop patterns of ....

....al, 1993) According to a study conducted by Eggers and Leahy (1993) different managerial leadership capabilities are required at each organizational stage. Therefore, management builds the foundation for the organizational structure by making choices based on the task associated with each stage (Greiner 1972). As a result of these choices, the organization s structure emerges (1972) Consequently, managerial leadership behaviors and or capabilities of an organization will determine the organization s outcome (Eggers and Leahy 1993; Greiner 1972) Managerial Capability Jaques and his co author, ....

Managerial Capability Jaques and his co author, Clement, explain that a managerial leadership role requires an individual to organize, solve problems and provide meaning for his her subordinates (1991) Therefore, managers must have the capability to see further than the individuals they are ....

.... of causal relationships has also been highlighted by Cooper (1993) The models proposed for depicting the growth of small firms are typically linear stage models, in which emphasis is placed upon creating a fit between the configuration of the organization and the stage of growth (see, e g, Greiner (1972), Churchill and Lewis (1983) Kazanjian (1983) Kazanjian and Drazin (1990) Eggers, Leahy, and Churchill, 1994) These models draw upon organization theory, and direct references to established theories of the firm are largely missing. In most linear stage models, implicit references to ....
