Today there are two main flows of organization run concurrently; One Traditional

Organization, established in between 20th century another is Modern Organization

emerged in this ongoing century. There are huge differences between these two trends.
Why the traditional organization criticizes the modern as a misguided and vulnerable
organization? What’s the real fact?

Generally the meaning of organization is an entity comprising multiple people, such as

an institution or an association that has a collective goal and is linked to an external
environment.

Traditional organization represent the organizational structure in a business is

hierarchical, meaning power flows vertically and upward, and employees are
departmentalized. All employees follow a chain of command. Such as a manager is the
chief coordinator of all department. Each department has a head who report to the
manager. Like the military system-very hierarchical, organized, disciplined. Every
department has its own rules and regulations as well as and every employee has own
job description and accountability to his superior. There’s strictly follow their own
business strategy that’s set in annual economic year. All the goal achievement plan are
set before and difficult to change. Always traditional organization is fixed and rigid.

Modern Organization means a boundaryless organization which are networking

together and collaborating more than ever before. They are well-suited for rapid
innovation and therefore ideal for companies in the growing technology industry. Its
main concept is to diversify its activities and connectivity as a result it can accept new
challenges and can set a goal frequently. Modern style of management largely depends
on soft skills – consensus building, relationships, listening, and understanding, taking
the team along with you willingly than dragging them along with you.

The main points of disagreement:

Stability: People believe that traditional organizations are stable in their activities and
progress. On the other hand modern one is more dynamic with its multiple business
strategy. They need multiple progress and constant changes.

Flexibility: Modern Organizations are always flexible to change their workflow, focuses
as well as connectivity. There the organization is need to update their competitive
advantages and the employees are required to upgrade their knowledge and skills.
Traditional Organizations are fixed, inflexible and planned.

Hierarchy: Modern Organizations flow “Flat Hierarchy” and Traditional flow “Tall
Hierarchy”
Teamwork: Team work is the main concept of modern organization. The organization
who build more effective team can gain more. On the other hand a traditional one
follows a chain of command where every employee should be obeyed to his superior.

Employee Morale: As an employee of a modern organization get more freedom and

flexibility to exchange his or her assessment. Consequently in this type of organization
you find high employee morale. Traditional is a job oriented organization so you are not
sure about the matter of employee morale.

Risk Management: Traditional organization maintain a specific policy to protect any

kind of risk that would be hampered for the organization or its employees. So
employees are more educated about the matter thus can take any step. Modern
organization are slightly brave in this matter. Though they are always ready to take new
challenges so everyone here prepared to face any risk instantly.

Diversification: Moreover the main contradiction between the modern and traditional
organization is their business policies. Traditional organizations are slightly conservative
and they try to follow traditional rules and regulation. They always flow a static business
strategy and make a workflow model maintaining a traditional marketing policy and
employee management system. A modern organization is doing modification,
rescheduling, flexible entity management and dynamic business strategy.

Technology: Modern Organization is more technology based and boundaryless. So the

number of employee or the office compartment doesn’t matter. But traditional
organizations are centralized and backward to accept advanced technology.

So today is the right time to think about the business model of your organization. In
present situation public demands are unlimited and their attention become diversified.
So you should be more dynamic, more virtual and more advanced in modern
technology.
