提出一种技术类型学，通过七个设计维度（如结构、人员技能要求、人际行为）为十二种技术类型匹配相应的组织单元设计，以提升组织绩效。
A proper matching of technology and the design of organization units can enhance the performance of an organization. After the choice of unit tasks, the choice of technology is a primary consideration in the design of effective units. This article provides a technology typology useful in designing organization units. Using seven design dimensions, including structure, skill requirements of the personnel, and required interpersonal behavior, the technology typology prescribes desired unit designs to match each of twelve technology types. The unit design problem is not a simple task, but may be made a little easier and more rational for those who follow the prescriptions described in the article.
