• Resumen

  • El artículo recoge los fundamentos teóricos acerca de los parámetros de diseño de la estructura de la organización, en el marco de la contingencia estructural, y da cuenta de la forma como las empresas están asumiendo eventos de re-estructuración. Se realiza un estudio de tipo descriptivo en una muestra de 92 pymes manufactureras de Bogotá. Los resultados demuestran que: a) el re-diseño organizacional no atiende propiamente a un ejercicio formal y sistemático a partir de la estrategia, b) el ajuste estructural con el entorno se da de manera parcial y c) la re-estructuración, cuando ocurre, simplemente responde a maniobras de traslación, eliminación o creación de cargos tomando como único referente el organigrama.
