Discussion questions

Organizations often miss out on (new) ideas. Why is that? Please draw on the reading – but also on the literature beyond.

What do you think is the role of organizational structure to be more inclusive and to be more open to new ideas?

We know little about the antecedents of decision-making structures. Why may one organization adopt one kind of decision-making structure, but other organizations adopt another?

The optimal decision-making structure should be contingent on the factors of the organization / the included individuals. What are such factors?
