ABSTRACT
The organizational structure of a company is the way that company groups its jobs and defines the line of authority to integrate the jobs. The company's capability has three resource elements: the system, the human resources and the facilities. To develop the new products the company added new capability, in the fields of electronics and semi-conductor technology, in addition to optical and mechanical technology. The planning department supports top management in generating the strategy. Top management plays the most important part in finding strategic issues and promoting the strategies. For technology-intensive manufacturing industries the capability of their research and development departments is the key capability. Japanese companies rarely used the acquisition of other companies as their growth strategy; instead, they developed their own capability. The Japanese organization is soft and organismic, although the softness varies depending on the repetitiveness of the job; the more repetitive the job is, the less soft the organization structure is, and vice versa.
